Show Notes

This episode begins the exploration of the skill of mediation as laid out in the CEFR macro-strategies. Students need to learn not only the content and how to communicate, but to communicate ideas mediating other sources into the discussion, essay, or presentation for support and evidence. Mediation is more than just maintaining academic integrity, it is part of navigating topics and communication in the target community. In the EAP classroom, mediation can be taught with the intention of bringing students into the academic community.
