Abstract: This session will first address the importance of an explicit explanation of the National Standards for Foreign Languages (5 C’s) to students. Teachers should discuss the 5 C’s with students, instead of just quietly implementing the 5 C’s into their teaching. To assess student performance on the 5 C’s, ePortfolios are ideal, so in the second part of the session, the presenter will discuss the benefits of ePortfolios. She will also show examples of the ePortfolios compiled by her students at Mesa Community College. The portfolios include compositions, graphics, video clips, and sound files. She will introduce how the WebCT’s Student Presentation tool works and why she chose the tool for her project. She will also refer to what needs to be planned before implementing projects involving student ePortfolios. The session will conclude with a discussion of student reactions to the project and the areas for further development.
