Technical university students often work in highly collaborative environments that demand not only technical expertise but also strong communication skills. In an increasingly globalized academic environment, effective communication and collaborative skills are essential, particularly for engineering students whose future careers may involve interdisciplinary and international teamwork. English, particularly for specific purposes (ESP), offer an opportunity to foster these skills. One underexplored yet impactful pedagogical approach within ESP is mediation. According to the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages (CEFR), mediation involves the ability to relay information, clarify meaning, and facilitate communication between people with different linguistic and cultural backgrounds. Mediation techniques can be employed in project work at English classes to enhance peer collaboration among technical students. The central argument is that mediation fosters mutual understanding, helps resolve conflicts, and encourages more equitable participation in group tasks.
