As tutors in a peertutoring university project, we explored<br />tutees´ English reading skills as they used a collaborative portfolio with us, their tutors,<br />during their free time. As a result of this research, we determined that the portfolio<br />emerged as a “planner for tutees’ reading skills”, allowing themto establish objectives<br />for boosting their comprehensive skills. Furthermore, the portfolio became an<br />“enhancer of collaborative roles” between tutees and tutors. Finally, the portfolio<br />allowed tutees to explore their own reading skills by supplying them with reading<br />experiences.</p> ER -
