Hello, everyone!
It is a real honour for me to be here today
to share a wonderful piece of news with all of you.
The 1st International Conference on Didactic Audiovisual Translation
and Media Accessibility will be held from the 22nd to the 24th of March
this year in the charming and picturesque city of Madrid.
So it is my pleasure to invite you all
to register for this event that celebrates
the coming of age of Didactic Audiovisual Translation as a discipline
within the field of Applied Linguistics.
This conference will also act as a closure for TRADILEX,
a project sponsored by the Spanish Ministry of Science and Innovation,
which has analysed the potential benefits
of audiovisual translations as a didactic resource
in foreign language learning for integrated skills enhancement.
Tradit23 will gather almost 100 scholars from all around the world
who have specialized in Didactic Audiovisual Translation
and who will share their latest findings.
Hence, the conference
is expected to be a rich forum for the discussion of burning topics
on this area of research study, including its relationship
with other disciplines, such as Corpus Linguistics,
Eye-Tracking, Gender Studies, Cognitive Linguistics,
Bilingual and Intercultural Education, English for specific purposes, etc.
If you wish to know more about Didactic Audiovisual Translation
in terms of teacher training and practice,
we have also prepared pre-conference workshops for you,
so that you may get familiar with the discipline
from both a theoretical and a practical perspective.
As Didactic Audiovisual Translation has proven to be highly effective
in the language classroom and in online environments,
both the conference and the workshops might be of interest to you
if you are a language teacher,
a researcher or a graduate or undergraduate student of any area
related to Translation, Language Pedagogy or Applied Linguistics.
And remember, we are at the UNED, the National Distance University in Spain,
so you may also register to follow the conference online.
Also, if you are a student,
you may obtain 1 ECTS credit for taking part in this conference.
So feel free to register in that sense as well.
Well, see you there.
