Annotation: This article explores the concept and implementation of the European Language Portfolio (ELP) as a valuable tool for enhancing language learning and fostering intercultural competence. The European Language Portfolio, developed by the Council of Europe, is a learner-centered framework designed to encourage reflective language learning and promote the acquisition of multiple languages and intercultural skills. The article delves into the various components of the ELP, such as the Language Passport, the Language Biography, and the Dossier, providing an in-depth analysis of how these tools can be used to facilitate language learning, self-assessment, and cultural awareness. The author highlights the significance of the ELP in promoting a holistic approach to language education, where learners are not only focused on linguistic proficiency but also on becoming culturally competent individuals. By encouraging learners to set language learning goals, track their progress, and reflect on their intercultural experiences, the ELP offers a framework that goes beyond traditional language education methods.
