Abstract
The Common European Framework of Reference for Languages (CEFR) (2020) outlines mediation as one of the four major language skills alongside listening, speaking, and writing. It is a structured process of communication that involves the ability to act as an intermediary or facilitator in various contexts between speakers of different languages or of one and the same language, aiming at finding common ground and resolving disputes. The purpose of the article is to discuss the benefits of implementing various mediation exercises at different levels in TEFL. Mediation uses an action-oriented approach to language education and is applicable to a variety of academic, linguistic, cultural, social, political and professional settings.
