All you need to start learning a foreign language
LinguaFolio
LinguaFolio is a portfolio assessment instrument designed to support individuals in setting and achieving their goals for learning languages.
It includes these three components:
Passport, where formal assessments and a student's self assessments (checklists) are documented,
Biography, where information about a student's language background and intercultural activities are recorded, and
Dossier, where samples of a student's work over time are archived.
This three-fold approach, based on the European Language Portfolio, enables language learners at all ages and levels to document their language learning as they move along the continuum towards greater proficiency.
List of all sorts of sites and resources for foreign language teachers
The Center for Open Educational Resources & Language Learning (COERLL) is one of 15 national foreign language resource centers funded by the US Department of Education. The overall mission of these federally-funded centers is to improve the teaching and learning of foreign languages by producing resources (materials and best practices) that can be profitably employed in a variety of settings. COERLL's work is organized around seven basic areas:
Applied linguistic research
Teaching materials
Language assessment
Teacher development
Less commonly taught languages
K-12 initiatives
