We know teachers have so much to do. Many of us at CASLS have been in your shoes: long nights grading, meeting with parents, attending planning meetings with colleagues, and somehow finding time to support students’ interpersonal and intellectual development. We want to make finding quality teaching materials a little easier and a whole lot less time consuming.
InterCom is a weekly email digest that offers just-in-time information in easy-to-digest portions. Teachers can customize their issue by target language, level, and content area (such as curriculum, professional development, or assessment), so you receive only the information that matters to you.
Our editor monitors professional online communications such as listservs, blogs, and organizational websites to find the most relevant, useful information and resources for language professionals.
Each InterCom issue includes:
- Topic of the Week: a brief, thought-provoking discussion of an issue relevant to language teaching and learning
- Activity of the Week: a classroom-ready activity exemplifying the week’s topic
- Spotlight: a highlight of Title VI Language Resource Center activities
- Curated Resources: links to carefully selected publications, language-specific resources, and professional development opportunities
Live Discussions
Then, join us every Monday at 11:00am PST on Facebook Live to discuss the activity and topic of the week. The discussion is a perfect time to ask questions about language pedagogy and implementation of the week’s activity. Can’t join us live? No problem! Our Facebook page will have the video for later viewing, and we continue to respond to questions on the video no matter when they’re posted.
Additional Resources
Methods instructors find InterCom a helpful resource to include in their curriculum. Learn more about integrating InterCom into the curriculum by downloading our PDF brochure.
