| From an EFL / ESL background, Tim GROOMBRIDGE received his Master’s in Linguistics (TESOL) from the University of Surrey, UK. His thesis topic concerned the use of paralinguistic features when giving an oral test of proficiency. He worked as a teacher and teacher trainer in UK and Costa Rica. He has spent considerable time in the Middle East, most recently working in EAP at a federal university in Abu Dhabi, UAE. His research interests have included the use of English in other subjects, particularly maths, and he has also explored summary writing skills in hybrid reading to write tasks. In terms of other interests, Tim speaks Spanish and is always looking for opportunities to study other languages even at beginner level (Italian / Thai). He is a keen runner and swimmer, and when time allows, writes fiction. |
