Teaching Portfolio

Why Portfolio?

You can keep a record of your teacher-training course as well as your teaching experience. It will serve as a reference material which you can use for your further professional development and also as evidence of your PRESETT development. It can also provide hands-on experience in working with Portfolio which you can use in your teaching practice.

What should it include?

• Your aims as a professional EFL teacher (what you want to achieve in your language learning, teaching, and other areas that are linked to your profession)
• Your language proficiency and further development of the language (self-assessment based on the European Language Portfolio for Adult Learners)
• Topics covered in Methodology and Didactics seminars – your observations, reflections
• Activities – those used both in Methodology seminars and in other seminars, with self-reflection and possible adaptations for your own teaching practice
• Useful literature – both theoretical and practical books, manuals, teaching journals
• Your teaching experience – lesson plans with reflections
• Useful contacts – your colleagues, teachers, institutions, publishers, etc.
• Further professional development – INSETT course providers, professional associations, conferences, etc.
• List of professional achievements – exams, certificates, references, etc.
• Dossier of your own materials (Course Design projects, Literature in Language Teaching projects)
