Reflections by Androulla Athanasiou
Maria discussed the values of using the ELP (European Language Portfolio) in terms of developing autonomy. She provided us with a thorough description of how she used the two components of ELP (i.e. learning styles and biography), emphasizing the need to make learners aware of their learning styles. Overall, Maria said that the use of ELP has been beneficial, highlighting the fact that overall the learners – who participated in her research- indicated that knowing their learning styles helped them in dealing with their difficulties in language learning and in monitoring their own learning.
