The annual conference of the National Association for the Teaching of English (NATE) is always special. But given that 2013 is NATE’s 50^th birthday, this year’s will be extra-special...and where could be more suitable to mark such an occasion than the world’s Shakespeare capital – Stratford-upon-Avon!

NATE Conference 2013 is sponsored by Cambridge International Examinations
