Synopsis
In this webinar, we’ll be talking about the concept of text mediation, its place in the language classroom, and how to help students develop useful communication strategies to mediate information contained in texts. We’ll start by analyzing some authentic communicative situations in which text mediation is possible or necessary. From these situations we’ll extract the main ingredients of text mediation (i.e. texts, participants, objective), and then we’ll put them back together to create practical classroom activities for different teaching and learning contexts. We’ll close the webinar with a discussion on the importance of context in mediation and how a different target audience can translate into different mediation strategies and target texts. Presented by Riccardo Chiappini – Award-Winning ELT Materials Writer, Editor & Teacher Trainer
