The Center for Applied Second Language Studies (CASLS) is proud to have been one of the co-sponsors of the Sixth International Conference on the Development and Assessment of Intercultural Competence with our sister National Foreign Language Resource Center, the Center for Educational Resources in Culture, Language and Literacy (CERCLL). This conference took place January 25-28 in Tucson, Arizona, and focused on intercultural competence and mobility in virtual and physical spaces. A CASLS team was on hand to discuss a variety of CASLS projects in a symposium entitled “Harnessing Digital Technologies to Unpack the Dynamism of Human Interactions.” The projects featured include a virtual reality project for refugees in Germany, an approach to game-enhanced learning featured on Games2Teach, the development of metapragmatic awareness through digital mindfulness, and the ongoing development of the Intercultural Pragmatic Interactional Competence Assessment.

Thank you to our colleagues at CERCLL for a wonderful and thought-provoking conference!
