The present study attempted to investigate the impact of electronic portfolio assessment on performance of Iranian EFL learners' writing. To do so, 30 advanced EFL learners who participated in a TOEFL preparation course were selected as the participants of the study. After administrating a truncated version of TOEFL proficiency test, they were randomly assigned to control and experimental groups. The experimental group was given a treatment including electronic portfolio assessment, while the control group was given a placebo. To collect the required data, two instruments (a writing pre-test and a writing post-test) were administered to both groups during the experimentation. Subsequently, the learners' scores were collected and the results were statistically analyzed. Inter-rater reliability, matched t-test, and independent t-test were calculated. The findings revealed that the participants of the experimental group outperformed those of the control group and thus it was concluded that electronic portfolio assessment can improve the writing ability and can be considered as a motivating assessment strategy.

“…The methodological competence of teachers plays a special role in the establishment of digital literacy of the population [24]. The following works [25], [26], [27] state that the necessity of using ICT and e-portfolio to improve the LLL process is justified. This task statement is particularly relevant in the context of a pandemic.…”

Considering the increased interest in ensuring the well-being of a person, lifelong learning takes a leading place in society. The purpose of this study is to build the concept of the LLL system for the Republic of Kazakhstan based on the methodology of education and international best practices, as well as global trends in the development of education. The key idea of the study is to justify the LLL system, which provides coverage of the country's population with formal, non-formal and informal learning to increase its competitiveness and basic competencies to the level of the OECD countries. To do this, we propose mechanisms that allow us to fully recognize the learning outcomes of formal, non-formal and informal education. These ideas were proposed by the authors to the Kazakhstan’s Government on the development of the Concept of Lifelong Learning.

“…Among the multiple tools that EFL teachers can use to enhance students' speaking skills, digital portfolios give different benefits in terms of enhancing learners' oral production, autonomy, among others [6]. As a matter of fact, e-portfolios allow students to design and save their artifacts and also to reflect on their achievements and goals [32]. In this respect, Google Drive has been chosen for conducting this study because it favours synchronous communication through a webbased application that allows users to store files and edit documents collaboratively from different types of devices [33].…”

The purpose of this study is to analyze the use of digital portfolios to enhance EFL (English as a Foreign Language) speaking skills in English-major under-graduate students at Universidad Tecnica Particular de Loja, in southern Ecuador. The participants were 42 students at the A2 level, according to the CEFR (Com-mon European Framework of Reference for Languages). All of them were en-rolled in an English Language Integrated Skills course. A mixed-method ap-proach was used to collect and analyze data in this study. Pre and post-questionnaires, observation sheets, and speaking rubrics were applied as instru-ments. Students used their smartphones to create digital portfolios in Google Drive, which included videos and audios about certain topics considered in the course syllabus. The speaking activities consisted of recording information in dif-ferent locations of the university campus (cafeteria, laboratories, library, chapel, sports ground), and other places of the city. The students worked individually, in pairs or groups to carry out different speaking activities during an academic term of 5 months. Personalized feedback was provided by analyzing the students’ oral performance through the speech artifacts uploaded in each portfolio. The findings show that digital portfolios were effective to enhance students’ pronunciation and fluency. It was also confirmed that the implementation of digital portfolios through Google Drive can increase students’ motivation to practice oral skills in the target language.
