Biographical note

Written by: Michele Crawford always had a love of languages and travel, and a desire to escape dull, rainy Britain. That’s how she ended up in Athens in 1991 teaching English to adults, most of whom were older than her. Michele had previously obtained a degree in French from Sheffield University but did not know how to teach. After a few years out of the UK and some inspiring coursebooks later, Michele decided to complete an MA in Applied Linguistics from the University of Newcastle. Upon completion, Michele got a job teaching English to Japanese undergraduates where she gained some valuable experience and skills. Now Michele lives in the West of Greece with her husband and 2 year-old daughter. She spends time writing books which focus on helping other teachers and providing them with useful advice and tips. She has also authored or co-authored the following titles: Smash 3, Smash 4, Code Red, Exam builder London Tests of English and ECPE Preliminary Practice Tests. Stuart Cochrane.
