Ricky Lam offers readers a much-needed and comprehensive overview of the development of electronic portfolios, addressing key questions relating to the types and mediums of e-Portfolios. His focus on the role of e-Portfolios in education makes this book an inalienable resource for researchers and practitioners alike. I applaud Dr Lam for such a fine work.

Based on his decades of solid research and extensive practice as a veteran teacher educator, Dr Lam provides readers with a comprehensive guide of e-Portfolio pedagogy and assessment in language education. Concisely written, this book successfully relates e-Portfolio theory and research to real-world practices with plenty of concrete examples, tools and insightful advice, making it a valuable resource for researchers and educators, as well as graduate students in Applied Linguistics.

This book explains both the theory and practice of e-Portfolio pedagogy and assessment in second and foreign language classroom contexts. The author addresses how e-Portfolios can help instructors make the most of the challenges and opportunities by the continuation of online and blended classrooms in post-pandemic education, and how students might be encouraged to capitalise on their social media literacy to fully engage with e-Portfolios. In addition to providing new insights for scholars of language pedagogy, the book equips language teachers with the practical knowledge and skills they need to use the e-Portfolio approach in their classrooms. It offers a balance between theory, research and the practice of an e-Portfolio approach, which will inform effective second language instruction and assessment as well as enhance key stakeholders’ language assessment literacy.
