To this end, 60 junior students from Islamic Azad University of Kazeroun, Iran, majoring in English were selected via systematic random sampling and were randomly assigned to experimental and control groups, 30 participants in each. The experimental group was taught through portfolio while the control group not. The period of treatment lasted for 10 sessions, each taking 90 minutes. Subsequently, a test based on Ladegfoged (2009) was made and administered to both groups. The data collected was then analyzed via independent t-test using SPSS software.
