This week, we continue our focus on pragmatics, or the way people communicate beyond word meaning alone. This week’s activity and video provide learners with tips for building their knowledge of the words, phrases, questions, and gestures needed in small talk. Many thanks to CASLS Graduate Intern Ellie Collins for her work in developing this week’s supports!
