As we mentioned last week, we are dedicating the first part of 2021 to the basics of language learning. This week, we are providing an introduction to multimodal communication. Our goal is to help language learners consider how much is involved in communication outside of simple word meaning.

There are a few ways to get connected with us this week:

• Join our InterCom Live! session. We connect on Facebook every Monday at 11:00 am Pacific. To join us, open CASLS's Facebook page at the designated time. Can't make it? The InterCom Live! events are always recorded, and you can find them on our Facebook page.
• Check out the Activity of the Week. This week, learners will brainstorm ways in which they engage in each mode of communication as well as the related, relevant skills.
• Check out this great blog post that provides a nice overview of multimodal communication. It is both a cool resources to support learners as they begin thinking about the many layers involved in meaning making and a nice tool for jumpstarting thinking about how to incorporate multimodalities into the classroom.

Happy exploring! We are excited to continue engaging with you this week.
