Abstract

The aim of the study is to analyze the role of electronic portfolios in learner centered teaching and assessment. The implementation of electronic portfolios in the process of EFL teaching is discussed via learner-centered perspective. Within the last few decades the application of educational technologies in education has significantly increased. Novice strategies in assessment procedures have also appeared. The main focus is on individual learner's needs, within learner centered framework. Self-assessment, peer assessment and portfolio assessment are regarded as an alternative means of assessment. These types of assessment establish not only a powerful setting for individual learning but also increase learners' motivation. The paper represents findings and conclusions based on literature review concerning the issue.
