Abstract:

Electronic portfolios, aka e-Portfolios have been adopted in first and second language classrooms for nearly two decades. In the first decade (2000-2010), e-Portfolios were mainly used as a pedagogical tool. In the second decade (2011-present), they have been proven to be effective in improving motivation, autonomy, self-regulated learning, and internal/external assessment scores as a digital learning platform (cf. Barrot, 2016, 2021; Beckers et al., 2016; Zheng & Barrot, 2022). Despite this positive evidence, scholars remain unclear about whether e-Portfolios could be used as a valid cum reliable assessment tool, especially during the COVID-19 pandemic. This pre-conference workshop intends to fill this much-needed gap by addressing the following aspects of e-Portfolio assessment.

To begin with, the workshop describes the attributes and processes of e-Portfolios to keep participants in the picture. Then, it unpacks the conceptual rationale for e-Portfolios, namely socio-constructivist (online collaborative learning), assessment for learning (interactive pedagogies), and metacognition (digital reflective practices). Next, the workshop discusses the major differences between e-Portfolio pedagogy and e-Portfolio assessment when e-Portfolios are used as alternative assessment in second language classrooms. Afterward, it shares some actionable strategies with participants on how to use e-Portfolios to fulfill formative and summative purposes separately and concurrently. At last, the workshop provides several research-informed principles in case teacher participants plan to try out e-Portfolios in their work contexts.
