Research on mediation in intercultural pragmatics is an emerging area of research and to date there is little work that currently focuses on this. Intercultural mediation is important for understanding how language users engage with intercultural pragmatics, where meaning-making and interpretation are central. The issues confronting research on mediation and intercultural pragmatics result largely from the fact that this area of work has emerged from studies of language learning rather than studies of intercultural pragmatics specifically. This chapter overviews three main research themes in the field of mediation in intercultural pragmatics: (1) the importance of metapragmatic awareness in mediation and how metapragmatic awareness is understood in intercultural contexts, (2) mediation as an activity that can be directed to others or to the self rather than always being an activity of intermediaries, and (3) the particular nature of mediation as a language teaching activity in which teachers construct learning as an interpretive process of making sense of meanings encountered in and across languages.
