The Evaluation of Linguistic and Cultural Mediation from Greek to Spanish and Italian

Although EU policies promote multilingualism, language education and assessment largely remain monolingual. The KPG exam suite is a notable exception, incorporating cross-linguistic mediation as a key construct in six languages. This study analyses how mediation is operationalised in B and C level writing and speaking tests and examines Spanish and Italian B-level tasks for consistency across languages and levels. Findings indicate clear differentiation by proficiency level, supporting construct validity, while target language had no differentiating effect.
