Loch, Mauro Raidaen
Graduate Assistant

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 201 – Third Semester Spanish

Continuation of Spanish 101 and 102 or by placement exam. As the first semester of the second year Spanish, this course focuses on a short review of the materials studied in the first year courses. It expands on those points with a more in-depth study of the Spanish language and culture. Content-based approach integrates grammar and culture in a functional use through listening, speaking, reading, and writing. The course further develops grammatical accuracy in the use of the simple tenses: present, future, and conditional and of particular importance is the perfection of the use of the past tense: preterit and imperfect. Compound tenses such as the present perfect, past perfect are also developed in this course. Students gain the ability during this course to deal with more complex and abstract situations in the foreign language. Language use encouraged by way of communicative activities rather than a sequence of linguistics units. Audio, video, and computer materials incorporated.
