Audiovisual translation in applied linguistics: Educational perspectives

In recent years, interest in the application of audiovisual translation (AVT) techniques in language teaching has grown beyond unconnected case studies to create a lively network of methodological intertextuality, cross-references, reviews and continuation of previous trials, ultimately defining a recognisable and scalable trend. This Special Issue of TTM presents a sample of current research in this field, with particular reference to case studies that either have a large-scale or international dimension, or can be scaled and replicated with different languages, at different fluency levels and in different contexts. It is our hope that these studies, debates and proposals may arouse the interest of publishers of language learning material and other stakeholders and ultimately lead to the mainstreaming of AVT in language education.
