Editorial

After Babylonia Number 1/1999 this is the second issue devoted to the European Language Portfolio. It is a collection of articles written by practitioners at the turning point from experimentation to implementation. Over the last three years some 30000 learners and close to 2000 teachers in 15 member states of the Council of Europe experimented with a variety of language portfolio models. During this time the European Language Portfolio has proven itself a valid and innovative pedagogic tool. The Standing Conference of the Ministers of Education of the Council of Europe adopted a Resolution recommending the implementation and wide use of the European Language Portfolio in October 2000. Several countries will introduce an ELP into their educational systems in 2001, the European Year of Languages.
Much has been written about the goals and concepts of the European Language Portfolio. Here are just a few of the key statements:
• The rich heritage of diverse languages and cultures in Europe is a valuable common resource to be protected and developed.
• A major educational effort is needed to convert that diversity from a barrier to communication into a source of mutual enrichment and understanding.
• In the ELP all competence is valued. It belongs to the learner.
• The ELP is based on a common framework and on common principles and has to be seen in the context of the wider needs of society and education.
• The political feasibility depends on the value decision-making authorities place on the ELP.
• The European character of the ELP is highly valued by a large proportion of learners and teachers.

The authors of this issue were asked to write about their experience, feelings and views from a personal perspectives. What came together is a fascinating mosaic of articles reflecting life in different settings and roles. Shining through are different perceptions, pre-occupations, ways of dealing with chances and challenges.
As general rapporteur for the ELP pilot projects I was often confronted with conflicting statements and reports. While I found this initially difficult I soon learnt to appreciate alternative, often unexpected solutions which helped reconcile differences. Co-operation, particularly international co-operation, truly seems to yield benefits.
