An action-oriented approach to didactic dubbing in foreign language education: Students as producers

Abstract

This article discusses the action-oriented foundations of TRADILEX (Audiovisual Translation as a Didactic Resource in Foreign Language Education), a project funded by the Spanish Ministry of Science and Innovation, which involves researchers from twelve universities across Europe and the UK. This project focuses on the improvement in the linguistic skills perceived through audiovisual translation (AVT) practices such as the use of captioning (i.e., interlingual and intralingual subtitling) and revoicing (i.e., dubbing, voice-over, and audio description) through an action-oriented approach (AoA). The ultimate objective is the study of AVT as a means to enhance learners’ communicative competence and reception, production, and mediation skills in an integrated manner. Following the design of a methodological proposal for a didactic sequence of AVT tasks, proposals are currently being piloted with B1 and B2 adult learners of English as a foreign language utilising – and adapting – the recent illustrative descriptors (Council of Europe, 2018) for AVT instruction. The potential benefits of action-oriented AVT tasks in foreign language education (FLE), in which foreign-language learners become active producers of AVT work, are put to the test employing empirical inquiry and thereafter advocating for more comprehensive integration of AVT in the FLE curriculum overall.

Can didactic audiovisual translation enhance intercultural learning through CALL? Validity and reliability of a students’ questionnaire

“…Research on DAT in FLL transcends disciplinary boundaries, converging applied linguistics, language and literature didactics, translation studies and educational science (Lertola, 2019). In addition to offering promising results related to the development of the communicative skills of primary, secondary and university education students (Ávila-Cabrera and Rodríguez-Arancón, 2021; Bolaños-García-Escribano and Navarrete, 2022; Fernández-Costales, 2021; Marzà et al , 2022; Pintado-Gutiérrez and Torralba, 2022), DAT has obvious implications in terms of digital literacy, given that subtitling or active dubbing of videos by students facilitates working on their ICT skills, multimodal working or mediation, among others.…”

mirada transdisciplinar a la Traducción Audiovisual Didáctica

“…Por otro lado, Talaván y Costal (2017) se centran el potencial pedagógico del doblaje intralingüístico a través de una propuesta didáctica en la que se obtienen resultados prometedores sobre los beneficios del doblaje en el desarrollo de la competencia oral productiva. Más recientemente, otros autores (Bolaños y Navarrete, 2022;Ávila-Cabrera, 2022;Yen, 2021;o Pamungkas et al, 2019) han seguido aportando nuevos datos para afianzar la eficacia del doblaje didáctico.…”

uso de PSeint para el desarrollo integrado del pensamiento computacional, de las destrezas lingüísticas y de inglés para fines específicos en entornos basados en traducción audiovisual didáctica

“…La TAD se puede definir como una disciplina que explora el potencial didáctico que tienen las tareas en las que el alumnado se pone en la piel de un/a traductor/a audiovisual para la adquisición de lenguas. Las modalidades principales de TAD son el subtitulado didáctico (Ávila-Cabrera, 2021;Ávila-Cabrera & Esteban, 2021;Ávila-Cabrera & Rodríguez-Arancón, 2021;Incalcaterra McLoughlin & Lertola, 2015;Lertola, 2019;Talaván, 2006;Talaván & Rodríguez-Arancón, 2014), las voces superpuestas (Talaván, 2021;Talaván & Rodríguez-Arancón, 2018), el doblaje didáctico (Ávila-Cabrera, 2022;Bolaños-García-Escribano & Navarrete, 2022;Fernández-Costales, 2021b, 2021aSánchez-Requena, 2016Talaván & Ávila-Cabrera, 2015;Talaván & Costal, 2017), la audio descripción didáctica (Ibáñez et al, 2016;Ibáñez & Vermeulen, 2013;Navarrete, 2018Navarrete, , 2021M. del M.
