Abstract
Originally used in artistic circles, the portfolio is quickly gaining ground in French as a second language teaching and learning. For example, the European Language Portfolio (ELP), under the auspices of the European Council, is a tool that is rapidly adaptable to advances in Web 2.0 technology. In this context, we draw a portrait of the portfolio in French as a second language (FSL) education and cite the advantages of the electronic portfolio. Finally, we draw on empirical results, from a specific eportfolio, eduportfolio, to illustrate its potential for FSL teaching and learning.

Summary
This paper presents a reflection on potential uses and implementation of the eportfolio in French as a second language (FSL) education. The portfolio is gaining ever-greater acceptance as a pedagogical tool in educational circles. A polymorph tool par excellence, it supports learning in primary and secondary schools, the development of professional competencies in universities, and the renewal of professional practice in continuing education. The language education field is no exception, especially since the advent of the European Language Portfolio (ELP). This article attempts to draw a portrait of eportfolio use in FSL classes. We review the literature on the main functions and concepts of the portfolio. We present the advantages of the eportfolio over the paper version and some empirical research results that argue for the implementation of the eportfolio in FSL classes
