Abstract
In spite of apparent difference, language and literature are interrelated entities
and its effective use can facilitate language learners’ development and growth. In
Malaysia, at the beginning of new millennium such policy was integrated to boost up
the deteriorated standards of ESL students. But, researchers argue that pre-service ESL
teachers who came across this initiative are defecating in several fundamental
competencies. However, e-portfolio has become a frequent topic of discussion in the
contemporary teacher education contexts and considered as the single most persuasive
innovation to foster pre-service teachers’ tangible development and growth over time.
Despite of that, research on e-portfolio is sparse in Malaysia; particularly it has never
been explored in pre-service teacher education context.
