A pedagogical model for integrating film education and audio description in foreign language acquisition
Carmen Herrero | Manchester Metropolitan University

Films are particularly powerful pedagogical tools that can help improve the
linguistic skills of foreign language learners. Audio describing tasks can
provide additional benefits. However, for an efficient use of feature films,
learners need to be trained on how to elaborate audio description texts and
develop active viewing strategies. This article discusses a language teaching
approach that advocates the addition of Film Literacy education and audio
description tasks to the language curriculum. It focuses on the application of
audio description, in both oral and written form, to the acquisition of Spanish
as a foreign language in Higher Education. It presents a pedagogical model
designed to help students develop linguistic, cultural and intercultural
competences while encouraging the aesthetic appreciation of films as cultural
objects that can be evaluated through a wide range of critical approaches.
Keywords: film literacy, audio description, language acquisition, pedagogy
