Title: CASLS InterCom: October 18, 2021
Body:
Today, we continue our series on games and fun! This week, we consider the extent to which puzzles and puzzle-based games help learners build critical language learning skills and target language knowledge. Additionally, we would like to extend a special thank you and congratulations to Madi Collins, CASLS Student Worker. Thank you, Madi, for your hard work on this week’s video and activity.
There are a few ways to get connected with us this week:
