Mediation: What Is It and Why Is It important?

Since the inclusion of Mediation as a key skill in the 2020 Companion Volume of the CEFR (Common European Framework of Reference), there has been much talk within the field of ELT about its relevance to learning language. But what is Mediation, why is it important, and how do we integrate it into our teaching practice? In this talk, we discuss these questions and explore how Mediation is dealt with in learning materials, and how inclusion of Mediation tasks can support learners in becoming more empathetic communicators. We will also invite teachers to share experiences and challenges from their own teaching practice.
