The aim of the study is to introduce the methodology of the language portfolio, which combines classroom practices of Hungarian language and literature teaching with everyday language practices of students. The theoretical framework used in my research combines sociological and media science/design theory approaches and is based on the socio-cultural linguistics literature (Bucholtz–Hall 2008). My empirical research uses the methodology of the language portfolio which I created and has been supplemented with structured group interviews using the methodological basis of the language portrait (Busch 2012). The language portfolio, following the paradigm of critical sociolinguistics, emphasizes the intersubjective, discursive nature of language and identity, so the study focuses on the language portfolio as a language awareness practice; and then demonstrates the usability of the language portfolio through a classroom research: finally, the study also provides insight into the heteroglossic repertoires of Gypsy adolescents, which have also become "visible" through the language portfolio.
