This paper aims at establishing a dialogue between Vygotsky and Bakhtin, using Vygotsky's concepts associated with the zone of immediate development and Bakhtin's concepts related to dialogism as theoretical parameters. By using these parameters, it proposes to reflect upon the educational process through the theoretical principles or aphorisms which claim the specificity of the mediation that establishes the educator/educatee relation. KEYWORDS: Vygotsky; Bakhtin; Zone of immediate development; Dialogism; Mediation
