Programa Institucional de Inglés Portfolio Manual
The portfolio is considered by the Programa Institucional de Inglés (PII), to be an essential component in the student’s path to become an independent learner. This manual has been developed by the PII, to provide astandard in the creation of language learning portfolios. Definition of portfolio: It is a collection of activities documenting independent learning done beyond the classroom. Purpose: The portfolio will help the students to develop English language skills independently based on the performance objectives of the PII. Students will become aware of their needs and learning styles. To accomplish thesegoals learners will organize their work, manage their time and use learning strategies with the teacher’s guidance. Performance objectives:

The PII Curriculum is driven by Performance Objectives for each level. This document provides Listening, Speaking, Reading and Writing skills for those objectives. These objectives should be used by instructors and by the students themselves to as a guide forlearning and assessment of learning. They should be reflected in the mid-term and end-of term assessments that instructors develop.
The following charts show the performance objectives for each skill and level and the task-based learning strategies and techniques that can be used to reach the performance objective. PERFORMANCE OBJECTIVES LEVEL 100 Performance Objectives Skills (sub-skills)Reading
