LinguaFolio-like activities tailored to your curriculum should become an integral part of your lesson planning and classroom instruction. You will decide how to integrate these activities in a way that brings the greatest benefit to your language learners. The more frequently you embed LinguaFolio activities into your lesson plans, the more familiar learners will be with the process. As learners take ownership of their learning, using LinguaFolio as a formative assessment becomes a natural part of the instructional process.
