Translanguaging in the Greek EFL classroom

This week will be devoted to mediation as a translanguaging practice. We will explore the notions of interlinguistic and intralinguistic mediation among others. We will touch upon the origins of the term and seek out ways through which such a practice can be incorporated in the EFL classroom.

This week's topics:

1) What is mediation and how is it distinguished from translation?

2) How does the CEFR define mediation?

3) What is the difference between interlinguistic and intralinguistic mediation?

4) Mediation as a translanguaging practice: How can it be applied in the Greek EFL classroom?

5) Designing mediation tasks: characteristics and requirements
