The Common European Framework of Reference for Languages (CEFR) had a lasting impact on all areas of foreign language teaching not only in Europe but also worldwide. Although activities and strategies of language mediation were already included in its action-oriented approach, no empirically developed scales and descriptors were made available for them. As a result, language mediation has found its way into European classrooms to different degrees in the last two decades. The Companion Volume with New Descriptors seems to close this gap by rendering the concept of mediation more precisely, on the one hand, and extending it, on the other hand. This article outlines and critically assesses the concept of mediation as developed in the CEFR Companion Volume, compared to the earlier concept.

The Companion Volume to the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages (CEFR), published in German translation in 2020, introduces new scales and descriptors that expand and clarify some of the key concepts of the CEFR. Mediation – one of four communication modes besides reception, production and interaction – is given a prominent role in foreign language teaching and learning processes. This article tries to outline the structure of the concept of mediation as developed in the Companion volume on the basis of the new descriptors, and to discuss it in the context of current program specifications for foreign language teaching in Poland. The aim is to explore the concept’s potential for institutional teaching of German as a foreign language in Polish schools.
