As multimodality becomes a key player in education at all levels and in most fields of learning, this volume brings together research and insights from some of the leading scholars on the topic of applying audiovisual translation to foreign-language learning with the benefit of the latest innovations in language-learning methodologies and new technologies. -- Patrick Zabalbeascoa, Universitat Pompeu Fabra

As Herrero and Escobar say, "The use of films in the FL classroom presents benefits and challenges for learners and teachers". Indeed it does. This long-overdue collection of high quality articles proposes, through technology, some truly innovative ways for repurposing audio-visual translation techniques and disciplines into essential pedagogical tools for language learning and teaching. -- Robert Vanderplank, Oxford University

This volume identifies a recognisable and scalable trend in last decades ?research on the educational use of Audiovisual Translation? and paves the way for the establishment of AVT and language learning/teaching as a relevant line of enquiry within applied linguistics and Translation Studies.
The volume edited by Incalcaterra McLoughlin, Lertola and Talaván is a remarkable effort to bring theory and practice together in a field which has traditionally lacked the balance of both dimensions. The present volume makes a significant contribution to research in both Audiovisual Translation and Applied Linguistics, by providing new insights and methodological clues on the future of this field. This work sets the basis for advancing in an emerging field that demands solid theoretical backdrops and rigorous methodological designs that allow for the generalization of results and the mainstreaming of AVT in language education. -- Alberto Fernández Costales, Universidad de Oviedo

This volume comprises a carefully selected compilation of high-quality chapters which clearly define the current and ample possibilities in the fields of AVT and FLL, demonstrated in the first six chapters, as well as questions surrounding professionally oriented AVT, which are discussed in the last two chapters. The latter perspective will be of particular use and interest to novel industry practitioners and academic experts in AVT alike. -- José Javier Ávila-Cabrera, Universidad Nacional de Educación a Distancia, in Hikma: Revista de Traducción 20:1 (2021)

The volume brings together timely and valuable contributions on the application of audiovisual translation in language teaching, written by a distinguished group of new voices in the field. The well-arranged collection of chapters accounts for a plurality of innovative methods and theoretical approaches, which overall makes this book a key reading for both researchers and teachers in applied linguistics. -- Claudia Borghetti, Università di Bologna

The case studies in this volume are a testament to the power of active learner involvement in audiovisual translation tasks, an important step towards autonomous language learning in the digital age. -- Martine Danan, Defense Language Institute Foreign Language School, California (DLIFLC)

As interest in audiovisual translation and foreign language teaching is gaining momentum, this book brings together various perspectives on innovative teaching practices based on a range of AVT modes and promoting linguistic, cognitive, intercultural and multimodal literacies. An essential read for teachers, specialists and professionals in the field. -- Elisa Ghia, Università per Stranieri di Siena

The volume offers a broad overview of research on how audiovisual translation can be harnessed for foreign language learning. It gathers important contributions offering invaluable insights from up to date research on the topic. -- Agnieszka Szarkowska, University of Warsaw
