Abstract

The study aims to find out how Indonesian EFL students perceive and make use of washback of portfolio
assessment in reading academic texts. To explore washback of portfolios, 20 students from English department at
the faculty of education were interviewed. The result revealed that the students had positive perceptions because
the washback improved their reading strategy, contributed positive changes to their learning attitude, and
cultivated their learning autonomy. They also perceived portfolio assessment a ‘novel’ method in assessing their
reading and a helpful tool in learning; therefore, they made use of portfolio assessment for future teaching and
learning guidelines. In spite of the positive washback of portfolios, a further study has to be done because
teachers have some challenges, such as preparing an appropriate design and taking time into account when
applying portfolios in language assessment.
