🎯 How to Teach Mediation Skills Without Boring Theory
Mediation tasks in Life Vision are a great opportunity to develop real communication skills. The key is to give students a clear role and an imaginary listener.
📌 Scenario with a Specific Audience: After reading an announcement or text, don't just ask students to summarize the content. Offer a specific real-world situation instead:
💬 “Your friend wants to go to this event. Tell them when to come, where to meet, and what to bring.”
How it works in pairs:
The partner listens to the explanation without looking at the text.
During the conversation, the listener asks at least one clarifying question.
✨ What is the benefit? Students learn to select key information, filter out unnecessary details, and explain complex ideas in their own words (paraphrasing).
