Capstone EFL Portfolio

Abstract

The portfolio here I present is my theoretical and practical understanding for teaching English as a Foreign Language (EFL). There are four parts in my portfolio: my teaching philosophy, introduction for the artifacts, artifacts I chose to support my comprehensions for teaching English Language Learners(ELLs) and implications for the profession. In my teaching philosophy, I will display my professional knowledge in terms of students and communities; curriculum and program; and theoretical professionalism. In my introduction section for artifacts, I will briefly talk about artifacts I selected for each domain from four aspects: learner, context, curriculum and assessment. I will present my artifacts as appendix for you to review. Lastly, I will talk about some implications and questions derived from my reflections upon some disadvantaged instructions and assessment practices for ELLs along with a discussion of differences between China and the United States with regard to the educational theories as well as applications.
