Adult learners have distinctive characteristics in comparison to younger learners. In English as a Foreign Language teaching and learning, adult learners have the preference of independence, choice and monitor their success in learning by involving themselves in assessing their ability. To accommodate these, the teaching of Advanced Reading for the third year students of English Education Department, Ganesha University of Education facilitates students with an opportunity to read in class and outside the class (extensive reading). They select the topics (under pre determined themes) and implement portfolio assessment strategy that includes the use of self-reflective journal and self assessment. After one semester of in-class and extensive reading, their attitudes, motivation, and their reading comprehension achievement was analyzed. The findings indicate that portfolio has a probable impact on student positive attitudes and high motivation to read systematically, and consequently results in good reading comprehension achievement.
