Dr. Lozano’s teaching centers on helping students develop both linguistic precision and cultural fluency. She approaches language learning as an intellectual and cultural practice, one that requires close attention to structure, history, and social context. By guiding students to see how language operates across time, disciplines, and communities, she encourages them to engage with Spanish not only as a means of communication, but as a living system shaped by historical forces and human creativity.

A key component of her pedagogy is comparative linguistic analysis. By placing Spanish in dialogue with other languages, students learn to recognize grammatical patterns, shared roots, and historical connections. This comparative approach strengthens accuracy while also demystifying language learning, helping students understand that linguistic systems are interconnected rather than isolated. As a result, students gain confidence in their ability to analyze and internalize complex structures.

Lozano’s courses are intentionally interdisciplinary, integrating history, art, and sociology into the study of language. Students explore how social movements, artistic traditions, and historical events shape vocabulary, idiomatic expression, and modes of communication. This framework allows learners to see language as embedded in cultural production and social change, deepening their interpretive skills while expanding their cultural awareness.

She also introduces students to etymology as a tool for understanding linguistic evolution. By tracing the origins and transformations of words, students uncover how meanings shift, migrate, and accumulate over time. This process fosters a heightened sensitivity to nuance and reinforces the idea that language is dynamic, historically layered, and deeply interconnected across cultures.

Ultimately, Lozano’s goal is to create a classroom environment that is intellectually rigorous, inclusive, and exploratory. She aims to equip students with the analytical tools to engage critically with language while cultivating curiosity, historical consciousness, and a lasting appreciation for the complexity of Spanish and its cultural worlds.
