Teaching Foreign Languages through Audiovisual Translation Resources: Teachers' Perspectives
Alonso-Pérez, Rosa; Sánchez-Requena, Alicia
Applied Language Learning, v28 n2 p1-24 2018
In the past decade, techniques traditionally used in the audiovisual translation (AVT) industry have been applied to foreign language teaching (FL) with promising results. Both teachers and researchers have provided useful data on various AVT typologies (i.e., subtitling, dubbing, audio description) to improve specific learning areas: vocabulary acquisition, listening comprehension, pronunciation, intercultural awareness, etc. (Ibáñez & Vermeulen, 2014; Baños & Sokoli, 2015). The following study aims to provide information in two relevant areas identified in the field: (1) the direct experience of those teachers who have been using AVT techniques in the classroom in recent years, and (2) their perspectives on the combination of FL and AVT in the future. A total of 56 respondents from Europe, the USA, and Asia participated in the study, these being teachers of French, English, German, Italian, Spanish, Chinese, Russian, Japanese, and Catalan as a FL. The results obtained are applicable to different languages and useful to professionals interested in using AVT in classroom or conducting further research.
