The common European reference frame for languages (cadre européen commun de référence pour les langues) has made brief presentations of this concept. The importance of this study is that it introduces the linguistic mediation as a new approach to use translation in the foreign language class. It also wide opens the doors to rethink translation as a natural skill that should be taken care of and developed by learners of foreign language, in the same way as other skills of writing, speaking, or writing and oral understanding. This paper is also motivated by the fact that it suggests practical modalities to use translation and linguistic mediation in the foreign language teaching without prejudice to the bases of the communicative approach, which is commonly used in foreign languages teaching and learning. Three points can summarize the objectives of this study: the first point urges to rethink the reluctance towards using translation in the foreign language class. The second point tries to introduce linguistic mediation as a concept that promotes the use of translation, and the third point proposes models to use linguistic mediation through translation in the foreign language class. article 2015-01-01T00:00:00Z https://repository.sustech.edu/handle/123456789/17095 The effect of Cooperative Learning on the Developing of the writing skills in learning English as a foreign Language Faris , Sabah Mohamed Abbas Hamza; Ahmed , Mahmoud Ali This study investigates the effects of cooperative learning in developing writing skill of the learners of English as a foreign Language (EFL) and their attitudes towards learning the English language using cooperative learning.

Teachers also responded to questionnaire to investigate their attitudes towards teaching English Language and specially using cooperative learning to develop writing skills. The results of the study showed that the pupils in the experimental group outperformed themselves significantly. The mean of stats score at( (post-test ) was (43.22) and the mean score at (pre -test) was (39.42) therefore we can conclude that there was significant decrease of statistics test from (post -test) to(pre-test) with (P-value 0.000) in the post experimental written test compared to their performance in the pre-experimental test. The results of the teachers’ questionnaire also revealed that the pupils developed better attitudes towards learning English using cooperative learning strategy, specially, to develop their writing skills.
