Mediation in intercultural daily communication (Task 27)

This task aims at developing learners’ abilities to evaluate the use of mediation strategies in daily situations. By analysing a cross-linguistic (Arabic-French) and intercultural situation as depicted in a literary work, learners are able to discuss how intercultural differences, linguistic skills, and power structures impact the outcomes of mediation in daily interaction. Even if the task is almost exclusively planned to be developed in the target language (French) at an advanced level, learners can rely on their knowledge of the official/school language (Language A) and of Arabic (as possible heritage language).
