Abstract

This chapter provides a comprehensive analysis of the benefits and challenges associated with the implementation of Portfolio-Based Language Assessment (PBLA) in Language Instruction for Newcomers to Canada (LINC) programs across Canada. In addition, it delves into the effectiveness of integrating PBLA into teaching and assessment practices in college-based LINC education programs in Canada. The objective is to evaluate the effectiveness of PBLA in enhancing the overall quality of LINC education in Canada. The chapter commences with an informative overview of PBLA and LINC program, drawing from relevant literature. Subsequently, the authors share their valuable insights and perceptions regarding PBLA, based on their extensive experiences. Collaborative autoethnography served as the authors' methodology for exploring PBLA, with data derived from multiple sources. Furthermore, their effective collaboration as a trio involved frequent meetings, where they exchanged their perspectives, experiences, reviewed pertinent literature, and critically reflected on their research findings. Overall, the chapter offers a rich and detailed account of PBLA and LINC programs, underlining their significance in the field of language teaching. Finally, the chapter offers some valuable insights and recommendations for both teachers and students regarding the future implementation of PBLA in LINC programs in Canadian college-based education.
