On Friday I was at the TEA Annual Conference in Puerto de la Cruz, Tenerife. Many thanks to Juan, Paz and the rest of the team for the warm welcome we all received and the great organization of the event.
Special thanks also to Shawn Redwood and Maite Molina for their fantastic talks.
In the links section of this blog you will find a copy of the powerpoint of my talk, ‘Peer response in the writing process’.
Here’s a classic video of Michael Rosen performing his own story We’re going on a bear hunt. Lots of fun, and a great demonstration of storytelling techniques to use with younger learners. Enjoy!

I’m just returning home from Granada, where I have been attending the GRETA Annual Conference. It has been a very positive experience, with many interesting talks on a wide variety of topics related to teaching English and particularly CLIL. More information on the talks will shortly be available from the GRETA website, http://www.gretaassociation.org
