The aim of the Bergen project was to adapt and supplement the "typical" components of a European Language Portfolio (ELP), developing material which would reflect the world of the secondary school learners, building on what they tell us they can and do 'do' in their foreign and second languages.The material itself, both for pupils and their teachers, together with a range of surveying material used as the basis for the research, is available in its entirely on the accompanying CD-Rom.
