520 3 |a This conceptual review investigates the use of mediation in English language teaching contexts. Following a review of mediation and its background and uses. The Common European Framework of Reference for Languages (CEFR) and multilingualism are explained, along with its history and goals. The various definitions of mediation are examined, including those from the CEFR, as well as definitions related to translation and interpretation, and the one underpinning the mediation aspect of the National Foreign Language Exam System (KPG). It is argued that mediation is critical in all linguistic, social, and cultural contact zones, including language teaching and learning contexts. Mediators have a vital role in settings where the meanings of languages, identities, and relationships are being reassessed and renegotiated, and English as a foreign language (EFL) learners' mediation ability should be developed to enable them to fulfill this critical role in society. Teaching mediation strategies should constitute a new objective in foreign language learning and teaching by adopting new methodological approaches.
