The Common European Framework and the Tune in
Language Portfolio

The Common European Framework has been a key point of reference for the designers of recent education legislation within Spain, where language syllabus writers highlight the importance of language for communication, and as a tool for understanding and learning about different cultures. The Common European Framework also underlines the value of establishing clear learning goals and reflecting on one's language learning; two trends clearly reflected in language learning throughout Europe. The Tune in Language Portfolio has been developed to provide teachers and students with a practical tool to work on these areas during the course.

Communication across cultures

Students are encouraged to reflect on cultural issues in the My Language Biography and the My Language Passport sections of their portfolio, where they reflect on their contact with other cultures and languages and discuss their language learning and intercultural experiences. In addition, background cultural notes in the Teacher's Book and the focus on English-speaking culture in the Tune in to Culture worksheets in the Resource Book provide teachers with opportunities to focus on culture in the classroom. The Mock Exams in the Teacher's Book focus on further aspects of English-speaking culture.

Clear learning goals

The My Language Biography section of the Tune in Language Portfolio includes a section where students prioritise their Tune in learning goals and evaluate their progress during the course. In addition, the On Air tasks in the Student's Book provide students with a clear goal which, if successfully attained, gives them a sense of achievement and contributes to their motivation and self-esteem. Students can also collect their best examples of On Air tasks in the My Language Dossier section of the portfolio.

Reflection on learning

The My Language Biography section of the Tune in Language Portfolio gives students the opportunity to reflect on their attitudes and approaches to learning, and to brainstorm techniques for improving their skills performance. In addition, the Tune in strategy boxes in the Student's Book make students aware of the sub-skills and strategies which can help their learning and skills performance.
