Didactic audiovisual translation (DAT) implies the pedagogical use of any audiovisual translation (AVT) mode, like dubbing, subtitling or audio description, as a resource in language education (LE). This area of research has attracted increasing interest in the last decade and can be said to have been consolidated as a field of study on its own right in recent years. In order to extend the use of DAT to larger contexts, LE teachers should be properly trained to use AVT resources in the pedagogical context. However, research on teacher training in DAT is still scarce. The present chapter offers a teacher training experience in Italy where a group of pre-service teachers were given a workshop on DAT to offer an example of implementation based on previous related experiences that may serve to provide more solid ground for the design of a DAT teacher-training methodology which could be adapted to various educational contexts. Besides, the data gathered from this proposal also aims at contributing to this area by confirming the potential benefits of DAT in training future professionals in LE, already mentioned tentatively in a few previous small-scale studies.
