Educational bases of didactic AVT in FLE

Abstract

This chapter aims at providing a general panorama of the educational bases that support the use of didactic AVT or DAT in language education. The chapter first presents the reader with the basic educational principles that are directly approached when introducing subtitling and revoicing—to include all AVT modalities—in the language classroom. Next, it concentrates on the specific benefits of using AVT in different educational stages—ranging from primary education to university levels and bilingual education. Sample lesson plans to be used in every stage are provided, together with guidelines and comments for teachers. Then, we discuss the relevance of AVT in the framework of new teaching modalities—which include blended learning and online teaching. Finally, the closing remarks underline the main implications of using AVT for educational purposes.
