Biography
Yucheng Cao is a Ph.D. student specializing in Language, Literacy, and Technology (LLT) at the University of California, Irvine. She received her master’s degree in Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages (TESOL) from the University of Southern California.
Prior to the doctoral program, Yucheng taught TOEFL reading for middle school students in China and taught creative writing for elementary students in the U.S. She also served as a Mandarin program advisor at a trilingual preschool and tutored adult learners of diverse sociocultural backgrounds in LAUSD. Informed by her teaching experience for multicultural students across grades, Yucheng is interested in literacy development, teacher training, and classroom research.
During her study at UCI, Yucheng is a graduate student researcher at Language Literacy Learning (L3) Lab and Digital Learning Lab. Over the past two years, she has worked on a NSF-funded computer science teacher professional development program CS1C@OC, which provides educators in Orange County with a program of study that satisfies California’s Computer Science certification requirement. Currently, she is working on a meta-analysis investigating writing interventions for secondary students under the UCI Writing Project.
