Abstract
A brief review of the traditional types of assessment used in second language education is followed by a discussion of the limitations of standardized testing. The author then addresses the challenge of assessing a student’s development over time with a performance-based approach, showing how one alternative assessment form, the electronic portfolio, can help teachers keep track of a student’s progress over a long period of time and also provide valuable information for curriculum specialists, principals, school boards, parents, and the community. The technologies necessary to support the development of electronic portfolios and its stepby-step procedures are described.
