As an Ohio University undergraduate, Professor Sustarsic majored in Spanish with a minor in Anthropology. She then attended graduate school at Ohio University, where she studied Spanish and Latin American Literature and Second Language Acquisition. At OU, she earned a Master’s degree in Spanish (College of Liberal Arts) and also studied Curriculum and Instruction (School of Education) at the University of Nevada Las Vegas.
In the area of foreign language pedagogy, Professor Sustarsic Harvey studies and develops instructional models designed to increase the linguistic and socio-cultural proficiency of students of Spanish. Most recently her research has focused on the impact of TPRS methodology in the language classroom.
