The LinguaFolio Language Passport provides a comprehensive picture of what the language learner can do with language. It summarizes the self-assessments from the Language Biography and provides validation for results from formal external assessments. It is a record of formal qualifications, certificates or diplomas, along with self-assessments that serve as a summary of experiences and competency with different languages. The grid on the back describes in more detail the proficiency levels.
