Welcome to the Teaching Together blog!

Welcome to this new and (hopefully!) inspiring blog.

I would like to tell you a little bit about me: my name is Anne Robinson and I was born in the  North-East of England; I now live just outside Santander.

I’m a teacher, materials writer (author of Fun for Starters, Movers and Flyers, published by Cambridge University Press) and teacher trainer.  I’m the Senior Presenter for  Cambridge ESOL in Spain and part of a very active Seminar team.  

Every year, we share our ideas and tips with teachers in around 100 seminars all over Spain.  This means we have the chance to meet lots of you in person!

The idea behind this blog is to increase our contact with you and to offer you support. 

We hope to continue the generation of ideas that starts at seminars. 

I feel very lucky to be a part of this blog and I hope that what you find here will help you and inspire you! 

Please feel free to contribute with comments and suggestions and any questions you might have!

I am looking forward to Teaching Together with you!

  1. You have an interesting blog. I love to learn english through Acronyms. recently I coined S MA CAPS (Pronounced See My Caps), an acronym/a Mnemonic to recall types of count nouns. So, Teach your kids the basics of count nouns through this simple acronym. It stands for Society, Measurement, Animals, Containers, Abstract, Person, Shape. It might help you too.

  2. Thanks for this comment! I agree that acronyms can be very useful to help us remember rules and other things! Sharing these tips with other teachers is so useful!

  3. Anne:

    I recently attended a seminar you gave in the Escuela Oficial de Idiomas in Santander and you mentioned a link to tape speaking exercises done by the students for us to grade. Can you please let me know what that link is, I haven´t found it on blog?

    Thank you...

    1. Sorry for the delay in writing the post about this. I have just written a post about Mailvu - the webtool I mentioned at that seminar. Hope you use it and let me know your thoughts!!!
