Didactic audiovisual translation (DAT) implies the pedagogical use of any audiovisual translation (AVT) mode, like dubbing, subtitling or audio description, as a resource in language education (LE). This area of research has attracted increasing interest in the last decade and can be said to have been consolidated as a field of study on its own rig...
The didactic applications of Audiovisual Translation (AVT) to Foreign Language Learning refer to the use of AVT modes (subtitling, dubbing, etc.) as didactic resources. It is a line of enquiry that has been receiving increasing attention in recent years, from researchers and practitioners alike. The TRADILEX Project has aimed to reinforcing this ar...
Didactic audiovisual translation (DAT) has been increasingly studied over the last two decades. Following the use of subtitles as a support, the application of subtitling as a real task undertaken by students soon became a reality. From there, the use of didactic dubbing spread as well, and more recently, other less familiar AVT modes, such as audi...
This paper presents the results of SUBFILM, a teaching innovation project that studied the benefits of reverse didactic subtitling to improve both foreign language learning writing skills and general translation skills. Didactic subtitling is to be understood here as the active production of subtitles by the students within a guided online task. SU...

The application of audiovisual translation (AVT) to foreign language (L2)
education dates back to the 1980s, when some scholars started to use subtitles
as a support within language laboratories to improve a series of L2 skills
(Holobow et al. 1984; Vanderplank 1988). A lot has changed since then, both
in terms of the methodological implementation...
Las distintas modalidades de traducción audiovisual (TAV), como la subtitulación o el doblaje, pueden utilizarse en el entorno educativo para mejorar diversos tipos de destrezas comunicativas en lengua extranjera (L2).
