Doctoral student, Zhang Miaomiao, presented her data and analysis stemming from her doctoral thesis to GREIP members, other doctoral students and visiting pre and post-doctoral scholars. Her work, co-supervised by Drs. Emilee Moore and Júlia Llompart is entitled “Mediation Activities in an Out-of-school Digital Story-telling Project”.
Her research investigates the adaptation of language in education to embrace plurilingualism, pluriculturlism, and the need for studying mediation due to existing knowledge and methodological gaps. Zhang’s research provides a detailed analysis of mediation in multilingual, multicultural, and digitally enhanced learning contexts, aiming to understand the emergence and construction of mediation in plurilingual, pluricultural and multimodal interactions. It also critically examines the resources and competences that help in accomplishing, and are constructed in mediation activities. The study provides actionable insights for the development of linguistically and culturally inclusive pedagogical strategies for preparing youth as active and collaborative mediators in the 21st-century multilingual and multicultural society.
