Today, we continue our focus on writing strategies for language learners. This week’s video and activity provide learners with an overview of what to consider when looking up a word in a dictionary when engaging in presentational writing (e.g., part of speech, example sentences that demonstrate the most appropriate context for a word, or whether the dictionary even needs to be referenced at all). 

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 mark a dictionary entry for important information (e.g., part of speech) to use when deciding what word to select when writing and consider alternatives to dictionary use.
• Check out this video CASLS created last year about circumlocution games. Let us know which games are your favorite by responding to our InterCom Live post on Monday!

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