Future employment: The job list has one offer I’m really interested in: International House at Riverside Church. That’s the kind of place I’d prefer for the first year after getting my CELTA. After that, I may try teaching in another country.

The word on the list that I had to look up was Cloze, as in Cloze exercises. I realized that I’ve done that kind of exercise in several language classes myself.

One thing I tried out that wasn’t part of the assignment: figuring out the phonetic symbols. For a while, I studied them in a book, and then I found some quizzes on BBC’s Learn a Language-English site. Each of the 5 quizzes had several questions involving the symbols, and working with them helped a lot.
