Steve Taylore-Knowles has been involved in ELT for 15 years, as a teacher, examiner, trainer and writer. He holds B.A. (Hons.) and M.A. degrees from the University of Warwick, and is a Licentiate of Trinity College, London (Dip. TESOL). His most recent course, published by Macmillan, is openMind (2009), a multi-level series for young adults. He has also written a number of other successful courses, including the Laser (2^nd edition 2008) and Destination (2007-08) series for Macmillan.

After a number of years living and working in Greece, where he served on the Executive Board of TESOL Greece, he has relocated to his home county of Lancashire in the north of England. He regularly speaks on various aspects of ELT at conferences and events around the world and enjoys the fact that his work takes him to so many diverse places in Europe, Latin America and Asia. When he’s not working, Steve tries to find time to go fishing.
