My blog notes from Day 1 of the NZ Association of Teachers of English (NZATE) conference in Auckland. I think my highlights were hearing about storytelling through music and traditional Māori instruments from Dr Ruth Solly, and a workshop on bilingual literature teaching from Cheng Xu, a young teacher at Auckland Dio. https://ocjty.edublogs.org/2025/07/02/nzate-conference-auckland-2-4-july-2025-day-1/ #NZATE #English #EnglishTeaching #ProfessionalDevelopment #BilingualLiterature
