Moore serves as a Senior Lecturer of Chinese in the Department of Linguistics at the University of Illinois Chicago, where she has taught Mandarin Chinese to diverse student populations since 2005 after previously working as a professor of English at Beijing Foreign Studies University in China.
Her academic background includes:
- MA in TESOL from Moray House Institute of Education, Heriot-Watt University, Edinburgh, UK

Dr. Moore specializes in foundational Mandarin language instruction, integrating cultural contexts to enhance linguistic comprehension. Her research spans Chinese Language Teaching, Second Language Acquisition, and Applied Linguistics, with particular focus on Mandarin phonetics, character systems, and grammatical structures for non-native speakers. She develops culturally immersive curricula that address unique challenges in Chinese language acquisition, drawing from her dual expertise in English and Chinese pedagogy.
Her 1990s publications on TOEFL preparation reveal consistent expertise in language assessment and pedagogical material design, covering sentence structures, reading comprehension, verbal collocations, and listening practice. These works demonstrate methodological rigor in language testing that directly informs her current Chinese language teaching approaches, particularly in adapting test-preparation frameworks to Mandarin instruction.
