Résumé
Teaching portfolios are becoming more and more important in education regarding the different levels. They are nowadays used both as developmental/formative and summative assessments; although many academics find them generically almost unfamiliar. Moreover, in front of the rapid expansion and advance in the field of technology in education, mainly the introduction of electronic learning (e-learning) platforms and concepts, there is however, a great tendency to put the World Wide Web (www) into practice and action, and thus, implement electronic portfolios. As a matter of fact, this thesis explores and examines primarily and conceptually the experience and the role of e-teaching portfolios processes and practices on developing the teaching process, and reinforcing and adjusting the teaching content through syllabus design in order to shed light and provide key alternatives and solutions to questions related to the type of English to teach the learners’ level and stream taken as a sample, as well as to find out appropriate ways and techniques to develop and improve the teaching craft and the teachers of the secondary schools (Lycées) as skilled professionals. Moreover, the problem of determining the nature of the English as a foreign language to teach the learners taken as a target population, and the question of offering opportunities to teachers and the teaching process to improve, make us believe in the thesis statement which hypothesizes that teaching appropriate English language for the stream under investigation and implementing the techniques suggested to develop the teaching craft and teachers as professional could not be achieved unless some values as determination, self-reflection, critical analyses and self-assessment are part of the proposed project, and for which this research is actually undertaken. Therefore, the thesis introduces some sample of e-teaching portfolios in an attempt to give concrete meaning to some of the points made, because we believe that these tools are collections of electronic evidence which capture the idea of lifelong learning supporting the documentation of competences better than normal assessments. Furthermore, the acquired competences help further self-responsibility and self-improvement in the teaching process career since they are powerful tools for learning and reflecting. Ultimately, these tools are also directed to provide the teaching and the learning community with developmental, summative and formative modes to meet the purposes intended. In addition to this, the development of teachers’ practice is a multiplicity of mediated interaction between learners and the teaching staff. This fact underlies the importance of setting some structures embedded in instructional and constructive tools in order to evolve the capacity to think about and reflect explicitly on teachers’ practice through
