Abstract

As the title implies the article describes the portfolio technology and its use as a final test of knowledge on the course “Academic writing”. Portfolio is a good alternative to the other existing forms of final test because it gives a chance to the student to show his or her knowledge vividly, to express his creativity and at the same time allows the lecturer to estimate both the level of English and the mastered knowledge of the paragraph and essay’s writing. Portfolio includes all the terms of the course, their determinations and examples of different types of academic writing produced by the students.
