| Body | In case you missed it last week... CASLS 30-Day Language Learning Challenge is now available!
Are you looking for an exciting way to finish out the year? CASLS 30-Day Language Learning Challenge is now available. Share it with your students and your friends and family. You can even complete it yourself! Anyone who submits their completed challenge by July 31, 2020 will get a prize from us in the mail.
InterComLive! InterComLive! Join us, the CASLS team, via Facebook Live at 11:00am Pacific Time each Monday. We will be talking remote/online language learning, exploring digital tools to mix things up, offering support for teachers, students, and families, and answering all of YOUR questions. Can’t join us live? We will also save the recording for later. This week's Activity of the Week is designed to get learners creating with language by drawing word art to reflect meaning. For novice learners, this might be around nouns or categories of concrete items and, for more advanced learners, this could include abstract topics or lexical items they might have trouble remembering.
Each week, the activity is designed as an activity that can be added to your online course, parent email, or other digital delivery system AS IS. That means no modification, minimal extra time, and a way to mix things up while still balancing a whole new system. Each activity is focused on a language learning strategy, function, or interculturality standard and will work in any language. (Note: The activities are created in English but are designed for target language use in any language with adaptations for novice, intermediate, and advanced learners. This format enables remote access while still encouraging target language use.) Some ideas for using these activities include:
Thank you, as always, for your support of CASLS and InterCom, and we look forward to seeing you online! Recap: Why does InterCom look different than what I am used to? Since its inception is 2005, InterCom has served as a resource of information for teachers in language learning and teaching, bringing together relevant content for educators worldwide. Based on the needs of teachers and their students, this resource has evolved overtime with shifts from disseminating content to creating it and offering additional means to customize the information you get. Our current situation also requires a nimble response to meet the needs of those we are meant to support. In that spirit, in March 2020 we began shifting our weekly digest away from what you are used to seeing toward two immediate needs of the field – time saving with engaging online/remote materials and support for questions and collegial collaboration.
