What is the e- ELP?

The electronic European Language Portfolio, the e-ELP, is a document based on the guidelines of the Council of Europe specified in the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages and intended to be used for pedagogical and informative purposes:
    - It is pedagogical because it should help you plan your learning, visualize your progress and discern which methodology suits you best, thus potentiating your autonomy as a language learner and motivating you to continue learning languages throughout your life.
    - It is informative, because thanks to the language passport and the dossier, you can demonstrate your knowledge of languages and provide clear and comprehensible information on your level of competence, learning profile and use of languages anywhere in Europe.

Through this website http://www.oapee.es/e-pel/  you may also create and manage your e-ELP for the language you select. This tool allows you to access and keep your Portfolio updated from anywhere in the world. This will help you to develop critical awareness and plan your learning more easily.

e-ELP is divided into the same three parts as the European Language Portfolio: Language Biography, Dossier and Language Passport. In the Biography and Passport students can record their experiences regarding the learning of foreign languages. In the dossier students can upload "tasks" done by them in the foreign language.

El Portfolio Europeo de las Lenguas en formato electrónico (e-PEL) es un documento basado en las directrices del Consejo de Europa explicitadas en el Marco Común Europeo de Referencia para las Lenguas con una doble finalidad, pedagógica e informativa.
    - Pedagógica en tanto que le debe ayudar a planificar su aprendizaje, a visualizar sus progresos, a discernir qué tipo de metodología se le adapta y, de esta manera, a potenciar su autonomía como aprendiz de lenguas y a motivarle a que continúe con el aprendizaje de estas a lo largo de su vida.
    - Informativa, porque el pasaporte y el dossier le ofrecen la posibilidad de demostrar sus conocimientos de idiomas, a dar información clara y comprensible en Europa de su competencia, aprendizaje y uso de lenguas.

A través de esta web http://www.oapee.es/e-pel/  puede elaborar y gestionar su e-PEL para cada idioma que seleccione. Usted puede acceder a su Portfolio desde cualquier parte del mundo y mantener actualizado el contenido. De esta manera puede ser consciente y planificar su aprendizaje con mayor facilidad.

El e-PEL se divide en las tres partes originales en que se estructura el Portfolio Europeo de las Lenguas: Biografía, Dossier y Pasaporte.
