In Two Words:
Student Empowerment
By facilitating goal
setting, evaluation,
and reflection, LFO
empowers learners to
take charge of their
own learning.

Portfolios stimulate student efficacy
• Self-efficacy refers to a learner's beliefs about their ability to accomplish a task.
• Students who reflect upon their language acquisition gain confidence in their ability to progress.
• Student self-perception is a useful tool to identify learning strategies and skills to help boost confidence.

Language Activities Inventory
Learning Inventory
• Requires learners to consider all of the ways in
which they’ve used the target language.
“How Do I Learn?” Inventory
• Has learners better understand their individual
learning styles by considering the learning
strategies that are most effective to them.

What Does LinguaFolio® Help Learners To Do ?

Goal Setting
One of the most successful strategies according to scholars in the field is to
• set goals and have students participate in that goal setting process
• devise an action plan that allows the learner to achieve the goal, and
• engage in reflection to see if the goal was met and at what level.

![Page 14: LinguaFolio® Virginia - VASSPThe Language Passport is a Snapshot of: • All Languages Learned • Language-Learning Experiences & Competencies • Self-Assessments of Proficiency](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022042808/5f8835a103ce4e13bc2883d9/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
“Goal setting influences learning and
motivation by providing a target and
information about how well one is
doing.”
(Alderman, 2005, pg. 105)
Learning Goals Matter
Credit: Dr. Ali Moeller, University of Nebraska
![Page 15: LinguaFolio® Virginia - VASSPThe Language Passport is a Snapshot of: • All Languages Learned • Language-Learning Experiences & Competencies • Self-Assessments of Proficiency](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022042808/5f8835a103ce4e13bc2883d9/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Moeller, Theiler and Wu (2012) conducted a five
year quasi-experimental study with 23 school
districts and determined that the ability of
language learners to set goals is linked to
• higher motivation
• language achievement
• growth in proficiency
Has it been tested?

Findings
• High school students (n=1544) and teachers (n=21) were
followed for five years and proficiency samples in reading,
writing and speaking were archived and reviewed each year.
• The study revealed a significant relationship between growth in
goal setting ability and growth in language achievement (HLM,
p<.001).
• Students who were taught and participated in short and long-
term goal setting via “Can do” statements achieved higher levels
of language proficiency as measured by the STAMP test
(Moeller & Theiler, 2012).

Transfer skills to other disciplines
Dema Clarke (2013) conducted an ex post facto study to
determine whether students who experienced LinguaFolio® as
an intervention in the foreign language classroom achieved
higher academic outcomes as measured by cumulative GPA
and ACT scores in math, science, reading, and English in
comparison to students who were not exposed to LinguaFolio®.
Her findings revealed:
• LinguaFolio® students performed better on the ACT exam
in all 4 sections (math, science, reading, and English)
• LinguaFolio students had higher cumulative GPA

Classroom Implications
LinguaFolio® has the power to promote learning through goal-setting, task-based language learning, and reflection because it shifts learning from a top-down process to a collaborative conversation between teachers and students.

Keys to Success
• Set goals and engage in backwards design to meet those goals.
• Assess students in an ongoing fashion; weave LFO into the fabric of the classroom.
• Develop a proficiency-based classroom to produce adequate evidence.
• Use reflection to set new goals.
