If you’d like to book your seat now, please send us an email at eltconference@languagetestingservices.com, providing us with your full name and contact details. This will help us ensure that your reservation is properly made and that we can keep you updated on any important information regarding the upcoming event.

As you all know our 2020 and 2021 conferences were cancelled, as were many, due to the Covid-19 crisis that we have all endured over the last 2 years. It is with great excitement and enthusiasm that we announce our return for the 2022 conference, and hope that as many teachers as possible are able to join us on this special day in San Sebastián. Fingers crossed for good weather!

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. Since then, we have held 4 conferences in which we were delighted to welcome an excellent line-up of ELT professionals who all contributed to their success. Again, this year, we are honoured 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.
