Produktbeschreibung
The last decade has witnessed an array of changes in language learning goals, requirement as well as perspectives. A variety of assessment methods or what has been called alternative assessment has been advocated. Language portfolios are among these methods which are gaining more popularity and support. But, implementing these tools requires training learners into its process. Yet, a question which can be raised here is: What kind of effect does such training have on students' learning autonomy? In an attempt to answer this question, an investigation was carried out on a sample of first-year students at the English Department of Abdelhamid Ibn Badis University of Mostaganem. Using control group design, the experimental group students were trained into using portfolios as assessment and learning tools within the course of the Written Expression course. The research findings revealed that the participants' motivation to learn increased and certain self-assessment attitudes were developed. But, their perceptions regarding their role and that of the teacher were still reflecting their dependence.
