Yuna Seong is a language educator and assessment expert living in New Jersey. She is the Director of the Community Language Program, the TESOL (Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages) Certificate Program, and the Language Program Management Certificate at Teachers College Columbia University, where she hires and trains language educators and language program professionals who aspire to teach and manage their own language programs.
Yuna earned her MA in Second Language Studies from the University of Hawai’i at Manoa with a focus on language Assessment, measurement, and program evaluation, and she is expecting her doctorate in Applied Linguistics at Teachers College Columbia University in 2023. Having grown up bilingual in both the United States and Korea, and always having to code-switch between two different cultures and languages, Yuna values the importance of intercultural communications skills, and she is a strong advocate for diversity and inclusion across global language teaching and learning contexts.
In this conversation, we talk about Yuna’s journey as an educator and higher education program administrator, as well as her own experiences growing up bilingual.
