What is a CPR and why do we have to do it?

CPR stands for cultural participation and research.  It allows 
students to 
use their language skills outside the classroom and gain confidence 
in a 
real life setting.  In their year-end evaluations, students remark 
that they 
really enjoyed doing the CPR projects.

Why do we do a portfolio?

By completing a portfolio a student is able to see how much s/he has 
accomplished.  It also gives the student the opportunity to reflect 
on how 
s/he learns best, what areas give her/him difficulty, and what s/he 
can 
do to 
improve.  The student also shares her/his portfolio with her/his 
parents/guardians so that they can see their child's progress.

Language students around the globe complete portfolios of their 
learning 
experiences to document their progress.  They may share these with 
future 
teachers, post-secondary institutions, and employers.
