ALS House Publications has been publishing the Journal of Applied Languages and Linguistics since December 2017. This Journal became a conference brand in 2019 and since then our institution holds the International Conference on Language Education and Research

Τhe institution Applied Language Studies House has an academic structure and pioneering organisation at both a national and international level. It covers a wide range of English language education based on three pillars: Student and Teacher training, Research Centre with a scientific council that consists of renowned educators and researchers from the USA, the UK, the EU and Australia and a Publishing House that fosters and presents educators’ and researchers’ work and research findings.

In 2020, in the middle of the pandemic, our TQ candidate and EFL student numbers increased dramatically which allowed us to set up our branch in Thessaloniki, Greece (GR092) and our Applied Language Studies House Ltd in Birmingham, UK.
