Welcome
On behalf of your conference team, we extend a warm welcome to you for the 2018 National English Teachers’ Conference, in Hamilton. This year’s conference theme: A Coming of Age comes at a time when we are all coming of age, as a profession, as technology impacts on teaching and learning, and as our students are challenged in an ever-changing world. We are proud to bring together quality keynote speakers to explore our theme from literary, technological, and social perspectives.
