Abstract

This chapter focuses on the new conceptualization of linguistic mediation as presented in the Common European Framework of Reference (CFER) Companion Volume and its role in the development of soft skills as the foundation for intercultural and interlinguistic communication. By the time of graduation, the 21st century student must have acquired a set of skills that were not required in the past, and educators have the responsibility to integrate these skills into their instructional practices. Therefore, these concepts are key elements in today's society characterized by globalization and connection with stakeholders in different environments.
