  DR. MARIA STATHOPOULOU, European Centre for Modern Languages, Council of Europe

In 2014–2017, she was a member of the authoring group of experts of the Council of Europe for the update of the CEFR. Currently, her project “Mediation in Τeaching, Learning and Αssessment” (ME.T.L.A.) is being funded by the European Centre for Modern Languages (2020–2023). Her book “Cross-Language Mediation in Foreign Language Teaching and Testing” (2015) has been published by Multilingual Matters.

  TALK. Demystifying mediation in language education: approaches, challenges and perspectives

  Demystifying mediation in language education: approaches, challenges and perspectives. This presentation deals with the notion of mediation in the field of language didactics. It defines the notion as it appears in the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages (CEFR) of the Council of Europe (2001) and in the new CEFR Companion Volume (2020), makes a distinction between cross-linguistic and intralinguistic mediation and explains the role of mediator when acting as a go-between in a communicative encounter which requires linguistic intervention so that understanding between all parties involved is possible. The presentation uses concrete examples of mediation tasks from the ME.T.L.A project (“Mediation in Teaching, Learning and Assessment”), a European project which is being currently carried out within the framework of the new programme of the European Centre of Modern Languages (ECML) (2020-2023).
