The portfolio method has emerged as a valuable approach in English language teaching, especially in the 21st century, where personalized learning and continuous assessment play crucial roles. This method allows students to compile their work over time, reflecting on their progress and engaging in self-directed learning. The study explores the benefits of the portfolio method, including its role in student autonomy, assessment, and skill development. It also highlights challenges such as time management and evaluation complexities. The research discusses practical applications of this method in modern English classrooms and suggests strategies for effective implementation.
