The electronic European Language Portfolio for the Blind and Visually Impaired (ELPBVI) is aimed at visually impaired adult users aged 16 or above. The ELPBVI adopts principles outlined in the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages and at the same time considers the specific needs of target users in terms of content and navigation. The ELPBVI can be used by totally blind learners with the help of screen readers transforming text to speech as well as by partially sighted users through font enlarging facilities. The ELPBVI user can choose between five identical language versions: English, German, Greek, Bulgarian and Italian.

Das Portfolio wurde für 6- bis 10-Jährige nach europaweit verbindlichen Richtlinien des Europarates entwickelt. Das Portfolio ... - soll Kindern helfen, sich der sprachlichen Vielfalt ihrer Umgebung bewusst zu werden, vom Dialekt über die Umgangs- und Standardsprache zu Fremdsprachen; - soll die Grundlagen für eigenständiges Lernen und Selbsteinschätzung von Kompetenzen im Verlaufvon vier Jahren legen helfen; - soll Können und Fortschritte dokumentieren und ermöglicht die Wertschätzung aller Schulsprachen und auch jener, die die Kinder in ihren Familien sprechen; - ermutigt die Kinder, auch persönliche Erfahrungen im Kontakt mit anderen Kulturen zu dokumentieren; - soll schrittweise zur Reflexion des eigenen (Sprach-) Lernverhaltens hinführen und dadurch effiziente Lernstrategien für die weiterführenden Schulen und fürs ganze Leben entwickeln helfen. An das ESP für die Grundschule schließt das Mittelstufenportfolio (10- bis 15-Jährige) an, gefolgt vom ESP für junge Erwachsene (ESP 15+), sodass die SchülerInnen dieses Lernbegleitinstrument durch ihre gesamte Schulzeit und darüber hinaus nutzen können.

Das Europäische Sprachenportfolio für junge Erwachsene (ESP 15+) …
- wurde speziell für Spracheninteressierte ab 15 Jahren entwickelt, ist also geeignet für Lernende in der Sekundarstufe II, in weiterführenden Bildungsbereichen (z.B. an Universitäten, Fachhochschulen, Pädagogischen Hochschulen) sowie für Sprachenlernende, die bereits einen Berufsweg eingeschlagen haben;
- wurde im Hinblick auf die Verwendung im allgemein bildenden sowie berufsbildenden Schulbereich konzipiert und hat somit einen dualen Ansatz, der Lehrplaninhalte der Allgemeinbildung und der beruflichen Bildung unterstützt;
- führt die Schülerinnen und Schüler zur Erreichung von jenen Niveaustufen, die es laut Lehrplänen zu erreichen gilt;
- unterstützt die Lernenden beim Erwerb von Methodenkompetenz und handlungsorientierter (Fremd-)Sprachenkompetenz;
- dient der größtmöglichen Entfaltung des individuellen Leistungspotenzials durch Fokussierung auf realistische Ziele.
Die Verwendung eines Europäischen Sprachenportfolios ist somit eine wesentliche Bereicherung im Sprachenunterricht und beim persönlichen Spracherwerb.
