Speaker
Description
This workshop first demonstrates how to apply the cognitive mediation descriptors from the CEFR to design tasks and scaffolding strategies for a project-based English course. The aim is to foster collaborative sense-making and enhance learners’ cognitive competences by encouraging them to articulate their own ideas clearly and engage constructively with others’ perspectives. Then, participants will engage in hands-on, collaborative activities to adapt selected mediation descriptors to their own teaching contexts. By the end of the session, participants will have practical tools and ideas for integrating mediation into their course design in meaningful and context-sensitive ways.
