Teaching and Testing Mediation: A Means for Promoting Multilingualism --Appendix 1 --Appendix 2 --Appendix 3: Types of Sentences and Clauses --References --IndexThis book contributes to the growing field of foreign language teaching and testing by shedding light on mediation between languages. Stathopoulou offers an empirically-grounded definition of mediation as a form of translanguaging and offers tools and methods for further research in multilingual testing. The book explores what cross-language mediation entails, what processes and strategies are involved, and the challenges often faced by mediators. As well as stressing the importance of administering tests which favour cross-language mediation practices, the author encourages the implementation of language programmes which promote the mingling-of-languages idea and target the development of language learners’ effective translanguaging practices. Researchers studying translanguaging, multilingualism, multilingual testing and the use of mother tongue in the foreign language classroom will all find this book of interest.New perspectives on language and education ;43.Interlanguage (Language learning)Interlanguage (Language learning)Ability testingLanguage and languagesStudy and teachingLanguage and languagesAbility testingLanguages in contactCode switching (Linguistics)Cross-language mediation.Foreign language teaching.Interlinguistic mediation.Multilingual pedagogies.Multilingual testing.Plurilingualism.Translanguaging.Interlanguage (Language learning)Interlanguage (Language learning)Ability testing.Language and languagesStudy and teaching.Language and languagesAbility testing.Languages in contact.Code switching (Linguistics)401/.93ES 750rvkStathopoulou Mariaauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut1208594DE-B1597DE-B1597BOOK9910163888603321Cross-Language Mediation in Foreign Language Teaching and Testing2788310UNINA
