230118 Mediating Language and Culture (BS) (WiSe 2019/2020)

Contents, comment

Mediation is a competence in foreign language learning that enables communication between people who would not understand each other otherwise or which can facilitate an understanding of texts otherwise inaccessible. English as the lingua franca of globalization is often used for mediation so teachers-to-be will have to train their future students to mediate into and from English. Instead of translating word by word, they have to learn to adapt the message to the communicative situation and the addressee, including the cultural backgrounds of the people - or texts - involved.
In the course, you will get to know different aspects of the complex process of mediation and try out methods of training it. Throughout the first half of the course we will put together a guideline on how to create good mediation tasks which will then be applied and reflected on in your own teaching units on mediating language and culture.
