Anthony Solloway
Anthony, British, read German language studies and linguistics at the University of Brighton, after which he took up a postgraduate scholarship at the University of Durham, where he studied language acquisition. He taught English as a foreign language in England, the People's Republic of China, and then Hong Kong, where he built up a wide – and quite possibly unique – range of experience, teaching at primary, secondary, and tertiary level, as well as in the private sector. Anthony, who has also worked as an educational London tour guide and in publishing as an EFL editor, recently completed two years at a tertiary institution in Muscat, in the Sultanate of Oman, and is presently engaged as a lecturer in Abu Dhabi, in the United Arab Emirates, where he teaches academic writing and acts as mentor to final year TESOL students completing their teaching practicum. Anthony is also currently in the throes of writing his second book, an examination of the global ESL industry, and is working on a doctorate in education (TESOL). After having travelled to and spent time in some twenty countries, he now lives mainly in the UAE, though he typically makes annual pilgrimages to Hong Kong and Great Britain.
