Siân Morgan

Senior Research Manager

Siân has taught in the UK, Italy and the USA. Among her current responsibilities are providing research support for Teaching and Curriculum, Editing Research Notes, Thought Leadership activities and Educational projects. She is also the lead RTL contact for Speaking assessment.

Her interests include Learning-Oriented Assessment, Performance Assessment, and Assessment Literacy. Siân has presented at numerous academic and teaching conferences in Europe and the USA, and has also published in teaching and academic journals. She has a BA in Modern Languages, a PGCE in French, an MA in TESOL, and an MA in Applied Linguistics (Language Assessment) from Columbia University, New York.

Siân grew up in South Wales and studied in Birmingham. She started her teaching career as a French teacher in an inner city comprehensive school in Coventry, and then moved to Italy where she taught English at university level. It was at this time that she became interested in assessment. She spent three years in New York studying language assessment and was delighted to join Cambridge Assessment English in January 2017.

Having lived in Italy, Siân naturally loves good food and opera, and having lived in New York, she adores the city’s energy. In her free time, Siân enjoys theatre, music, eating out with friends, and playing with her grandchildren.
