    Social Subtitling: Providing the university community with accessible videos
    (Cambridge Scholars Publishing, 2017) Talaván Zanón, Noa; Ávila Cabrera, José Javier; Orrego Carmona, David; Lee, Yvonne
    Amateur sublitling is a growing phcnomcnon in modcm Spanish society, as reflected in the vast number of subtitles created by fansubbers as soon as their favourite films and TV series are available online. Given thc prcscnt nccd to providc accessiblc audiovisual products, as wcll as the boom of video slreaming siles, the Universidad Nacional de Educación o Dislancia (Spanish Distance Education University, UNED) has recognised thc nccd to subtitlc many of its videos, cspccially tcachcrs' videos, lccmrcs, ele. lhal are nol originally provided wilh such support. Since the number of this type of videos offered by this university is ever-growing, some social subtitling stratey capable of speeding up and facilitating accessibility (both multilingual ami monolingual) seems to be essential. This chapter offers a report on a project caried out in 201 3 whose main aim was to assess the possibilities of social subtitling. Subtitles were translatcd bilatcrally bctwccn Spanish and English. Thc use of qualitativc research too Is, in the form of an initial and a final questionnaire, together with observations, provided the necessary data and led to relevan! conclusions rcgarding thc fcasibility of implemcnring social subtitling at the UNED.

    Improving oral production skills in the Business English class through creative dubbing
    (Universidad de Belgrado, 2022-01-01) Ávila Cabrera, José Javier
    This study focuses on an innovative teaching project entitled Doblaje creativo (Creative Dubbing), which was conducted at the Universidad Complutense de Madrid during the 2019-2020 academic year. Its main goal was to explore the use of creative dubbing as an innovative tool for improving oral production skills in the business English classroom, as well as for other language skills. To this end, twenty students from the Degree in Commerce practised their speaking skills (a measured and dependent variable) in business English through creative dubbing activities (a manipulated and independent variable) – a recent application of didactic audiovisual translation (AVT). Several lecturers from public universities took part in this project, which employed a mixed methods study involving an experimental group (N=20) and a control group (N=20). Both quantitative and qualitative data were gathered. The former involved student tasks designed to assess three videorecorded presentations carried out by both groups, serving as pre- and postlanguage tests. The latter involved questionnaires filled in by the students. The results obtained indicate that creative dubbing is indeed a tool that can enhance students’ oral skills, motivating them regarding the use of a non-traditional educational methodology, which can be applied in any other English for specific purposes (ESP) context.

    First insights into the combination of dubbing and subtitling as L2 Didactic Tools
    (Peter Lang, 2015) Talaván Zanón, Noa; Ávila Cabrera, José Javier; Gambier, Ives; Caimi, Annamaria; Mariotti, Cristina
    The use of active subtitling as a resource in foreign language education has been gaining increasing interest in the last decade within the studies on Audiovisual Translation (AVT). Such a comprehensive task can be said to enhance integrated communicative activities and skills, mainly reading, listening, writing and speaking. Dubbing as a didactic resource is, nonetheless, an activity that has not received as much attention and its use in class is significantly less spread. This AVT mode explores all the elements of the soundtrack in the form of monologues, dialogue exchanges, and songs, and can enhance the same integrated skills mentioned for subtitling, but from a different perspective. This paper focuses on a quasi-experimental research on the use of the active combination of dubbing and reverse subtitling in order to improve both oral and written production activities, as well as general translation skills. To this end, two groups of students from formal and informal learning contexts have worked collaboratively online in the dubbing and reverse subtitling of four pre-selected clips taken from the same film. Thanks to the answers to oral and written pretests and post-tests, as well as to questionnaires completed by the students before and after the AVT practices, a series of quantitative and qualitative data were obtained and used to assess the potential benefits of this new didactic combination.

    Profanity and blasphemy in the subtitling of English into European Spanish: four case studies based on a selection of Tarantino's films
    (Universidad Autónoma de Barcelona, 2020-05-31) Ávila Cabrera, José Javier
    The combination of profanity and blasphemy can be said to be one of the most delicate taboo categories to deal with on the screen. It is in the context of audiovisual translation (AVT) where professionals have to make challenging decisions when transferring these elements. Thus, should audiovisual translators be faithful to the source text or is it legitimate that they tone down the load of profanity and blasphemy? This paper describes the subtitling into European Spanish of a corpus composed of some of Tarantino’s films on the grounds of profane and blasphemous phrases which could provoke a strong reaction from the audience. Among the main goals of this paper are: scrutinising (1) if the religious phrases under analysis are transferred faithfully; and (2) whether or not cases of blasphemy in the target text have been encountered. In a nutshell, this study aims to explore the treatment of profanity and blasphemy in the subtitles produced for the Spanish audience.

    The use of active subtitling activities for students of Tourism in order to improve their English writing production
    (Asociación Europea de Lenguas para Fines Específicos, 2021-09-01) Ávila Cabrera, José Javier; Rodríguez Arancón, Pilar
    Most current university students are permanently surrounded by multimedia content, especially in their leisure time, and this is affecting their attention span and the way in which they communicate and learn. As teachers/researchers it is both challenging and rewarding for us to create activities that keep them motivated and focused, therefore we must adapt our courses in order to achieve the expected results, trying to take advantage of what interests students whilst ensuring that their skills are clearly developed. Audiovisual translation can be useful in this scenario when it is integrated in the learning process as a tool, with a pedagogical objective: that is, as a means to an end. This is the goal that a group of researchers from UCM, UNED and UAM aimed for when designing this project: to take advantage of the interest of a group of university students in multimedia content and ICT. All the activities were developed with a definite purpose –that of the improvement of writing skills in English and the use of specific vocabulary related to their degree in Tourism–. The students undertook reverse subtitling activities before handing in written compositions at several stages of the project. The researchers gathered data about the effect that these reverse subtitling activities had on the improvement experienced by the students in their writing skills and compared them to the performance of a control group
