Language Testing Services (LTS) first ran the conference back in 2017 with the aim of giving all those involved in English language teaching the chance to keep up to date with the latest developments in the industry.
The conference is an excellent way to keep up with new ideas, as well as being an opportunity to meet with other colleagues and listen to some of the most renowned experts. We are honored to host a wide range of speakers all of whom are experts in their field.
None of this would be possible without the collaboration of our sponsors, who have supported us from the very beginning and have given us the opportunity to bring some world-class speakers to the Basque Country. We are also incredibly grateful to the hundreds of teachers who have attended our conferences and who have all helped to make them days to remember.

“FLOWING
INTO THE
FUTURE”
Nowadays, technology is an important part of the learning process and many students are immersed in a technology mediated learning environment. We want to explore how technology is driving learning, how new gadgets and devices are influencing the learning process and how these changes are affecting our learners’ brains.
