It addresses the question as to what extent this tool can be useful for strengthening basic training for English teachers. The research took a semester span and used a structured questionnaire-based inquiry applied to a 40 student sample. Additionally, 15 out of 40 students who provided high quality information were interviewed through a semi-structured cluster of questions in order to grasp details of such information. The outcomes reveal that about two thirds of participants 63% of 27 students regard positively the usage of the Portfolio as a didactic tool in English teachers training in Angola, pointing out that it promotes holistic reflexion on teaching methods, as well as autonomous learning. Relatedly, large portions of participants indicate the Lesson Planning, Resources and Conducting a Lesson categories as being the most usefulness categories of the Portfolio for the teaching and learning process of English in Angola’s Higher Education system. Overall, more than 50%, about 25 of participants fully agree with the idea of the EPOSTL being suitable in the Angolan context. This portion raises to 88% about 33 interviewees. This demonstrates that the EPOSTL can contribute to enhancing reflection and concerning English learning in the Angolan Higher Education context, thus tempering learning-by-heart and authoritarian methods, the main features in the country’s education system. |
