We have asked top ELT authors the 
following 3 questions:
- What’s your favourite ELT book?
- What or who has had the biggest impact on ELT in the last 25 years?
- What do you wish you’d known when you started out in ELT?
Here, Bill Bowler answers these questions in a short interview:

He is co-series editor of the secondary-targeted Dominoes Graded Readers (OUP) and co-author of the Headway Pronunciation Course (OUP) for adults. He authored the Oxford Bookworms playscript reader ‘The Butler Did It’ (OUP), and has won two ESU awards to date for his ELT writing. Bill has contributed articles to English Teaching Professional and the Oxford Teachers’ Club webpage.
