Is Portfolio Assessment in Language Learning worthwhile? In other words is there enough of a positive effect on students and the learning outcomes, considering the energy required from both sides, students and tutor, for portfolio introduction, production and assessment?  Languages for All (LfA) LfA is one of ten Strands in the Discovery Themes offered to all UG students at the University of Leeds. We teach four Roman script and three non-Roman script languages, with all languages covering Beginners and Elementary level. Intermediate and Advanced levels are offered in most languages. All modules are credit bearing and most are taught in a two hour weekly seminar over one or two semesters. In this article we focus mainly on Beginners and Elementary levels to reflect on developments in LfA assessments.

This paper aims to provide a reflection on my teaching experience of Arabic as a Foreign Language of 2017-18 cohort at the University of Leeds. This experience was a combination of observing Dr Soliman’s lectures and seminars as well as replicating her approach. It is also the aim of this reflection to provide comparisons between my former experience on teaching Arabic and English as foreign languages with my last experience as a module assistant of Arabic for beginners. In addition, the paper aims to clarify some useful teaching tools that would help many language teachers.
