Loch, Mauro Raidaen

Graduate Associate

My name is Mauro, and I am a first-year Ph.D. student in Hispanic Linguistics and a Graduate Associate in Teaching for the Department of Spanish. I obtained a Bachelor’s degree in Translation and Interpretation from the University of Alicante (2023) and a Master’s degree in Audiovisual Translation from the University of Vigo (2024).

I work as a freelance translator with expertise in Dutch, Spanish, and English, and I am proficient in German, Italian, and Catalan. My passion for languages drives my commitment to facilitating cross-cultural communication and breaking down barriers.

Currently Teaching

SPAN 202 – Fourth Semester Spanish

Continuation of Spanish 101, 102, and 201 or by placement exam. As the second semester of the second year Spanish, this course is designed to provide insight into the literature and culture of the Spanish speaking countries. Themes are developed by content-based cultural activities, which provide awareness in the Hispanic culture, and encourage students to formulate opinions on a variety of contemporary issues through authentic readings, discussions and writing. This course reviews the grammatical concepts in a more sophisticated way and analyses more complex syntactic structures considered within a functional whole such as the subjunctive moods, etc. The teaching approach integrates grammar and culture in a functional use through listening, speaking, reading, and writing. Classroom activities stress communication across the four skills with a strong aural, oral and written component. Audio, video, and computer materials incorporated.
