Happy September, and happy back to school season for those beginning a new school year!

Join us this month as we begin a brand new series on tips for navigating ambiguity when communicating in the target language. This week we dive into recognizing whether a language has more of a hearer- or a speaker-orientation, meaning whether the hearer or the speaker is the subject of what is communicated.

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 Video and Activity of the Week! This activity guides learners through determining whether the target language has speaker and hearer orientation when speakers make a request or apologize.
• Check out this resource to explore more about hearer-oriented and speaker-oriented strategies for apologies.

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