摘要：The role of technology in educational settings all around the world has changed
the methods of teaching and assessment in the last few decades. Unfortunately, the
shortcomings of e-learning in Iran have deprived students of many advantages of it.
This research paper tries to answer the questions regarding the effect of e-portfolio
on the students’ writing proficiency in the context of learning English as a foreign
language and the learners’ use of self-regulated learning strategies. Furthermore,
the attitude of students towards the use of e-portfolio in the writing class was
investigated based on the data obtained through the survey, teacher’s field notes,
and teachers’ observations. The data obtained from English majors at State and
Azad Universities in Rasht, north of Iran, was both qualitatively and quantitatively
analysed. The findings revealed that the use of e-portfolio had a significant effect
on students’ writing proficiency and their use of self-regulated strategies. The
evidence from the study also showed learners’ positive attitude towards the use of
e-portfolio, mainly due to its accessibility, convenience, and the feedback they
could receive through it.
