This series trains mediation, in the Abitur also called Sprachmittlung: the ability to convey the essential content of a German text into English in terms of meaning and in an audience-appropriate way, instead of translating word for word. In five worksheets that build on one another, learners first learn to distinguish mediation from translation and to recognise audience, purpose and situation as steering variables.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGuiding question:\u003c\/strong\u003e How do I convey the essential content of a German text into English in an audience- and purpose-appropriate way?\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhat's included\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e5 differentiated worksheets with required and optional tasks\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFull answer keys with expected solutions\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA 7-slide colour presentation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA detailed, step-by-step lesson plan\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePrint \u0026amp; digital — editable and ready to use, no prep required\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eLearning objectives\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eExplain the difference between mediation and translation and determine audience, purpose and situation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eInterpret operators reliably and choose an appropriate register for the required text type\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMediate short German informational texts into English appropriately and explain culturally bound terms\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCondense more complex sources such as tables and articles and select relevant information in a purpose-driven way\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eProduce a full mediation in Abitur format and assess it against an assessment scheme\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eTopics covered (5 worksheets)\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWhat is mediation?
