Abstract

Germany is a dubbing country, but translators do not play an important role in the dubbing process. Still, it makes sense to teach dubbing in the translation classroom, for a variety of reasons. Firstly, the constraints of translation and dialogue writing for dubbing pose a challenge to the students which they normally enjoy. Secondly, classes in dubbing can focus on the distribution of tasks typical of the process and on the role translators play and might play in the dubbing process. In addition to teaching competences needed for the translation process itself, a dubbing class can provide a platform for reflecting on the role of the profession in the audiovisual sector
