Why a separated portfolio for non literate adults
• The regular portfolio can’t be used;
• Good experience with adjacent instruments for this group (low-educated L2 learners, illiterate mother tongue speakers);
• Also in the practice there was a need for a portfolio for non literate students.

The level revedision of the framework.
Alfa A: read and write in principal all the vowels, including double vowels and consonants in short words and they still spell. Alfa B read the words mend by alfa A automatically and read frequently used consonant clusters and morphemes in its entirety. Alfa C read and write all words except of long and unknown words. Reading and writing is completely automatically.

• Fitting to the framework NT2 wished;
Biografy
• (Short) “CV” of the student;
• Who am I?
• What can I?
• Attention for formal and informal learning;
• Every adult person ‘can do’ things, even you can’t read and write;

Why portfolio-assessment?
• Scores on tests are often disappointing
• Portfolio-assessment shows the profit of the education
• That is important for:
• The student (motivation!)
• The ROC (accounting)
• The local authority (value for money)
