This week, we continue our series on language learning strategies targeted at helping learners improve their intercultural communicative competence (ICC). Today, we provide one analysis strategy for improving ICC: the comparison of two artifacts.

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 activity entails comparing and contrasting two similar artifacts: one designed for the local culture and one designed for a target-language culture.
• This Global Cognition resource provides great, accessible tips for improving intercultural communicative competence. This resource can be shared with educators and language learners alike.

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