Happy October, all!

Today, we begin a new series on games and fun! As part of this series, we will consider various extramural approaches to language learning including gameplay, the use of mobile apps, and game design. To get things started off, we are looking at digital games and how in-game discourse can improve and extend language learning.

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 provides learners with a experience log for documenting and evaluating their gameplay in the target language.
• Games2Teach, a former project carried out by the Center for Educational Resources in Culture, Language and Literacy (CERCLL) and CASLS, has great research and leveled game activities that educators can download for immediate use. Check it out!

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