Abstract

Electronic portfolios are an innovative means of organizing, summarizing, and sharing artifacts and ideas about learning. The reflective process of portfolio development can be as valuable as the final product. Despite its widespread use among practitioners in western instructional contexts to promote students’ growth, little attention has been paid to the potential implementation in the Thai EFL curriculum. 

This paper investigates how electronic portfolios can be beneficial for students’ learning, particularly in Thai EFL contexts, by discussing advantages and disadvantages of electronic portfolios based on recent studies. It also proposes three steps for the electronic portfolio development process: pre-implementation, implementation and post-implementation. Finally, I pinpointed several issues pertaining to successful electronic portfolio development for learning purposes that teachers need to take into consideration
