About Professor Carlie Johnson-Lillo (Lee-yo)

¡Hola! Teaching and languages are two of my biggest passions. I have been teaching Spanish at TCC since 2015. Prior to that, I lived in Madrid, Spain for six years where I completed my graduate studies, and in Mexico City for nearly four years during my undergraduate studies.

Teaching and learning approach

Language learning is sort of in a league of its own. It is not a traditional lecture-style class. Instead, language learning focuses on building and developing the four language skills, which are listening, speaking, reading, and writing in a student-centered environment, where the teacher-talk-time is limited. That means the focus is on you and that you get to do most of the talking. Grammar, vocabulary, pronunciation, and cultural elements are woven throughout the course.
