Sprach- und Sprachmittlungskompetenz in Translationswissenschaft und Sprachdidaktik
Language competence and language mediation competence in Translation Studies and Language Teaching

Summary/Abstract: In this article, I will compare the concept of mediation competence, its modelling and itsrelationship to language competence in Translation Studies and Language Teaching. Whilecompetence modelling has a long tradition in Translation Studies and focuses on describingthe competences of professional translators (often opposed to bilinguals’ competence),mediation is a relatively new concept in Language Teaching, which was put on the map inthe CEFR 2001. For my analysis, I will first describe areas of interest and relevant models ineach discipline and then analyse the overlaps and differences as well as areas of contention.
