Abstract
Audio description is a translation of images into words aiming to provide an alternative to the visual content for those who cannot access it. It can be considered an intersemiotic translation and, as such, it has often been taught as part of courses in audiovisual translation and media accessibility studies. However, studies on the specifics of the didactics of audio description are missing. This article presents the results of a questionnaire aiming to map the current situation regarding the teaching of audio description in Spain. It reports on the results obtained from 27 Spanish participants that answered a questionnaire developed as part of ADLAB PRO, an Erasmus+ project funded by the European Commission whose ultimate goal is to create didactic material for the training of audio describers. In order to contextualize such research, the article also provides an overview of the didactics of audio description in Spain.
