In the past, German language students mainly completed summative assessments (assessment of learning) with little authenticity and personal relevance. To improve the learning experience, language portfolios across all three German levels were implemented over the course of three years. The portfolio design and individual portfolio tasks have received recognition within and beyond UNE. Students’ results and overall satisfaction rates have improved as a result of this redesign. In this presentation, I will describe how the implementation of language portfolios helped ‘humanise’ assessment.
