My Background 我的资历 |
| ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
苏珊从事英语教学与测试工作已近30年。在同样的一段时间内，她也勤奋不懈的努力提高她自己的汉语能力，所以她非常清楚培养语言沟通技能的困难。
另外她也了解中国英语学习者特有的长处和短处，比方说不习惯发动词字尾结束的字音，句子里常忘了加冠词等。
她曾经在大学里和跨国公司里教授过英语、汉语、文学等，也教过幼儿英语。在普林斯顿大学做完研究助理后，她应聘到美国教育考试服务中心，在那里工作了二十多年。
苏珊曾经主持过不同部门的工作，历任英语考试的命题主任，包括负责托福试题的命题；托业试题（500强企业普遍使用的商用英语考试）的业务总监，及全部产品的亚太区市场总监。
苏珊不同程度的精通6国语言，有美国印第安纳大学德国文学学士学位及比较文学的硕士学位。
或许有人看过她在一些报章杂志发表过的文章或专栏，现在21世纪报周刊（平面及网络版）连载苏珊创作的《思嘉在北京》的故事剧。http://www.21stcentury.com.cn
闲暇的时候，苏珊喜欢养养花，欣赏一些艺术作品 - 诸如戏剧、电影、文学，当然还有语言。
美国新泽西州普林斯顿
Let me tell you a little bit about myself.
Professionally, I have been working in the area of teaching and testing of English language for almost thirty years. Over this same period, I've been struggling daily to improve my Chinese language ability, and so it's easy for me to remember how hard it is to develop communicative skills.
I've also been able to develop a working knowledge of Chinese learner’s strengths and weaknesses in English-language learning. Dropping final consonants at the end of verbs, leaving out articles like "the" and "a."
I have taught English, Chinese, and literature in university and professional settings, and have also taught children’s English. After serving as a research assistant at Princeton University, I went to ETS (Educational Testing Service), where I worked for over 20 years in various capacities. At ETS my roles included overseeing test development activities for the TOEFL® test and other English as a Second Language tests, serving as the business director of the TOEIC® test, and directing ETS business development for the Asia Pacific Rim.
I have varying proficiency in six languages and holds degrees in German Literature (B.A.) and Comparative Literature (M.A.) from Indiana University.
You may have seen some of my feature columns for magazines and newspapers. The story of "Scarlett in Beijing" appears in the English Soap Opera bi-weekly column in 21st Century Weekly, in print or online at http://www.21stcentury.com.cn
That's a little bit about my professional life.
In my personal time, my hobbies include gardening, the arts-- theater, movies and literature-- and, of course, languages.
