This week, we are featuring the language learning strategy of observing interpersonal interactions before engaging in conversation. This strategy is useful for language learners seeking to improve their knowledge of critical content, as well as their understanding of interculturality.

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 set goals related to interpersonal interactions and observe language in action.
• Check out this guidance on developing interpersonal assessment tasks  from the Center for Advanced Research on Language Acquisition at the University of Minnesota. How might incorporating the strategy from this week’s video impact task design? Learner outcomes? 

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