Philip Prowse began his professional life with the British Council, for whom he taught and trained teachers in Egypt, Portugal, Greece and Poland. Returning to the UK he became the principal of a large residential language school where he was responsible for a wide range of teacher training courses, as well as language courses for teenagers and adults. He has been writing throughout his career, and has been a full-time writer and trainer for the last fifteen years. Something he has always greatly enjoyed has been the opportunity to spend time in classrooms in different parts of the world, and it is from teachers and students that the inspiration to write comes. He has been a regular speaker at conferences and has run teacher-training courses in Europe, South America, Africa and Asia. Judy Garton-Sprenger has a wide range of experience in English language teaching through working as a teacher/teacher trainer, as a writer and as an actor. With a degree in European Studies and a diploma in TEFLA, she joined International House in London, where teaching led to teacher training and to her first ELT writing project. She was also invited to join the English Teaching Theatre, with whom she toured Europe, Latin America, Japan, the Middle East and West Africa over a period of 14 years. During that time she became freelance, and has since then been a full-time teacher trainer and writer. She has spoken at conferences and led seminars for teachers in Latin America, Western, Central and Eastern Europe, including work for the British Council, the Soros Foundation and universities throughout Britain. Meanwhile she has written numerous coursebooks for adult, secondary and primary students. She has also been a Cambridge ESOL examiner, item-writer and syllabus consultant, and written radio scripts for BBC English.
