- Acquisition of FL communication competence: use of the Sakai Drop Box as an ePortfolioPublication . Silva, Fátima; Patim, IsabelAwareness of the need to acquire foreign language competence has increased, in Europe, since the implementation of the Bologna Process. On the other hand, the development of technology in educational settings has resulted in an increasing interest in Distance Education.

This paper reports on the experience of using the Drop Box tool of the Sakai software as an ePortfolio, combined with the follow-up interviews in class, in the scope of the development of the project work, i.e. the last module of the curricular unit ‘English Language’.
