Publicación The use of interlingual subtitling to improve listening comprehension skills in advanced EFL students(InterLinguistica ETS, 2014) Talaván Zanón, Noa; Rodríguez Arancón, PilarPublicación 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, PilarMost 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 groupPublicación Can didactic audiovisual translation enhance intercultural learning through CALL? Validity and reliability of a students’ questionnaire.(Emerald, 2024-02-20) Rodríguez Arancón, Pilar; Bobadilla-Pérez, María; Fernández-Costales, AlbertoPurpose This study aims to delve into the interplay between didactic audiovisual translation (DAT) and computer-assisted language learning (CALL), exploring their combined impact on the development of intercultural competence (IC) among learners of English as a foreign language (EFL). Design/methodology/approach Using a quasi-experimental approach with a quantitative research design, the study analyses the outcomes of a questionnaire answered by 147 students across 15 language centres in Spanish Universities. These participants actively engaged in completing the lesson plans of the Traducción audiovisual como recurso didáctico en el aprendizaje de lenguas extranjeras project, a Spanish-Government funded research initiative aimed at assessing the effects of DAT on language learning. Findings The current study confirms the reliability of the instrument developed to measure students’ perceived improvement. Beyond validating the research tool, the findings of the current study confirm the significant improvement in intercultural learning achieved through DAT, effectively enhancing students’ motivation to engage in language learning. Research limitations/implications The current research solely examines students enrolled in higher education language centres. This paper closes with a CALL for additional research, including participants from other educational stages, such as primary or secondary education. In the broader context of CALL research, this study serves as a valuable contribution by exploring the potential of DAT in fostering IC in EFL settings. Originality/value This research confirms the potential of DAT and CALL to promote students’ learning process, as the combination of these approaches not only yields linguistic benefits but also intercultural learning.Publicación Developing L2 Intercultural Competence in an Online Context through Didactic Audiovisual Translation(MDPI, 2023-06-30) Rodríguez Arancón, Pilar; Agencia Estatal de Investigación. EspañaDeveloping intercultural competence is one of the most important aspects when mastering a second language (L2, henceforth). This can be achieved through different approaches, but this paper focuses on the possibility of acquiring this skill online through the use of Didactic Audiovisual Translation (DAT). Here, we present the findings of the TRADILEX Project, which has produced data that support the ability of DAT to encourage motivation in learners while they develop integrated L2 skills in general and intercultural competence in particular through a combination of intrinsic and explicit cultural components presented in different lesson plans.Publicación The use of reverse subtitling as an online collaborative language learning tool(Taylor & Francis, 2014) Talaván Zanón, Noa; Rodríguez Arancón, PilarThis paper presents an experiment on the potential pedagogical benefits of collaborative reverse subtitling in foreign language education. The principal objective was to discover whether reverse subtitling used as a collaborative language learning tool could enhance general translation and writing skills. The participants involved in the study had two and a half months to subtitle two short clips and were monitored as they followed a series of steps guiding their work week by week. The findings obtained from the analysis of the language tests results, the answers given to questionnaires and the teachers’ observations are promising. Given the small size of the sample (20 students), it is difficult to make generalisations. However, the main conclusion is that writing and general translation skills can be fostered by the use of reverse subtitling within an online, collaborative learning framework. This is a very encouraging result that we believe will lead the way to further research in the field.Publicación Didactic audiovisual translation and language learning: The development of intercultural competence through the voice-over mode of didactic audiovisual translation(Peter Lang AG, 2025-01-01) Rodríguez Arancón, Pilar21st- century education needs to ensure that students are ready to be part of an intercultural and interconnected world. Didactic Audiovisual Translation (DAT) is an emerging but consolidated discipline which aims to enrich this type of learning process by making students actively use audiovisual products. Following its principles, language students are expected to create their own subtitles or record their own dubbed versions of video clips. In this particular study, the main goal is to explore to which extent the inclusion of implicit and explicit cultural elements within the design of the lesson plans in the Audiovisual Translation (AVT) mode of voice- over may result in an improvement of their language skills. The results gathered through a pre- test, a post- test and questionnaires show that this design helped participants enhance their language and mediation competences. It also fostered participants’ motivation and intercultural knowledge. It would be necessary to also assess whether this methodological proposal has the same effects with other AVT- modes.Publicación Online Language Teacher Training Using Audiovisual Translation(Shahid Chamran University of Ahvaz (Iran), 2023-09-01) Rodríguez Arancón, PilarIn the last few decades, the focus of research in the field of language education has concentrated on learners, with studies carried out on how to lower their affective filter in order to develop their language skills (Reinders & Wattana, 2014), motivation (Meşe & Sevilen, 2021), flipped classrooms (Chen Hsieh, Wu, & Marek, 2017) and even their impressions on the layout of courses. However, whereas all these issues are of the utmost importance, the major contribution that teachers have in that learning process, and the necessary development of their skills in order to implement those new ideas in the classroom, have been left to one side. This study aims to present the findings of an online teacher training course based on didactic audiovisual translation (DAT) that has been carried out by the Universidad Nacional de Educación a Distancia (UNED) in Spain. The initial and final questionnaires administered to the preservice teachers who participated in the course revealed their positive attitudes towards DAT as a rich resource for developing integrated linguistic and ICT skills.Publicación The development of English (inter-)cultural competence within a systemic functional linguistics framework and its application in a blended learning environment(Universidad Nacional de Educación a Distancia (España). Facultad de Filología. Departamento de Filologías Extranjeras y sus Lingüísticas, 2015-06-15) Rodríguez Arancón, Pilar; Bárcena Madera, María ElenaLa enseñanza y el aprendizaje de segundas lenguas han experimentado cambios fundamentales en los últimos años a medida que el foco de atención principal se ha trasladado desde el dominio de la gramática y el vocabulario hacia la fluidez y los aspectos comunicativos. Ahora se acepta de manera generalizada que la comunicación supone ir más allá de un simple intercambio de palabras ordenadas de acuerdo a un conjunto de reglas abstractas. De hecho, implica una comprensión de la forma en que las ideas se expresan en un idioma determinado, la manera en que pueden ser recibidas y aceptadas, o no, por parte del oyente, e incluso el comportamiento ligado a todo acto comunicativo Los gestos, la postura corporal y la distancia entre los hablantes, por nombrar sólo algunos elementos, envían mensajes importantes al receptor y son fundamentales cuando el hablante quiere informar sobre algún asunto, y más aún si se espera que algo suceda como consecuencia de dicho intercambio. Sin embargo, aunque este nuevo interés es evidente en la educación de los escolares españoles con los nuevos programas AICLE y la importancia que le dan al componente cultural en idiomas, este no es el caso en otros escenarios de aprendizaje de adultos, donde el aspecto de competencia (inter-)cultural se ha dejado sin la debida atención y un mecanismo sistemático adecuado de evaluación. La única herramienta disponible para determinar su progreso en este momento es el Portfolio Europeo de Lenguas creado por el Consejo de Europa (2001) para este fin. Por lo tanto, si se considera que el aspecto cultural ligado a todo acto comunicativo es fundamental para poder hablar adecuadamente cualquier idioma, debe haber una manera de enseñar y evaluarlo para reflejar todo el esfuerzo que se le ha dedicado en el aprendizaje. El objetivo de esta tesis es el desarrollo de una propuesta de enseñanza de aspectos (inter-)culturales y su inserción en un curso de aprendizaje semipresencial diseñado para adultos españoles que aprenden inglés en un contexto de educación no-formal.Publicación How to develop and evaluate intercultural competence in a blended learning environment(Sindéresis, 2023-03-01) Rodríguez Arancón, PilarPublicación State of the art of language learning design using mobile technology: sample apps and some critical reflection(Research-publishing.net, 2015-12-02) Bárcena Madera, María Elena; Read, Timothy Martin; Underwood, Joshua; Obari, Hiroyuki; Cojocnean, Diana; Koyama, Toshiko; Pareja-Lora, Antonio; Calle, Cristina; Pomposo, Lourdes; Talaván Zanón, Noa; Ávila Cabrera, José Javier; Ibáñez Moreno, Ana; Vermeulen, Anna; Jordano, María; Arús-Hita, Jorge; Rodríguez Arancón, Pilar; Castrillo de Larreta-Azelain, María Dolores; Kétyi, Andras; Selwood, Jaime; Gaved, Mark; Kukulska-Hulme, AgnesIn this paper, experiences from different research groups illustrate the state-of-the-art of Mobile Assisted Language Learning (henceforth, MALL) in formal and non-formal education. These research samples represent recent and on-going progress made in the field of MALL at an international level and offer encouragement for practitioners who are trying to incorporate these approaches into mainline second language teaching. Furthermore, researchers interested in the field can see that the work presented here exemplifies how fertile it is, which should hopefully serve as motivation to undertake new studies to move the state-of-the-art further on
