We hope that all is well as we near the end of September! 

Today, we continue our series on language learning strategies targeted at helping learners understand and improve their intercultural communicative competence (ICC). This week, we provide one strategy for improving ICC: the practice of interpersonal written communication incorporating emoji.

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

• Join our InterCom Live! [b]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 considering an online emoji dictionary that it is available in a variety of languages, finding emoji in use, and practicing utilizing emoji in interpersonal communication.
• The Emoji Timeline is a great supplemental resource to share with learners as they consider the use of emoji and, more broadly, multimodal and intercultural communication.

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