Subtitling as a Didactic Tool. A Teacher Training Experience

This paper seeks to show the evolution and results of a task-based project, carried out in groups in the framework of a class of Education university students, consisting of the cooperative creation of homemade subtitled English-speaking films of approximately five minutes each aimed at children. Their assessment was based not only on their proposals and their didactic appropriateness and linguistic rightness, but also in terms of their performance as a cooperative team, which was registered through final reports. Through this experience, the teachers-to-be were offered the opportunity to create their own teaching material and to deal with video editing and the use of subtitles as part of their ICT training
