Lo que "Juego de tronos" nos enseñó. La traducción audiovisual como recurso para fomentar la competencia gramatical en el aula de inglés como lengua extranjera

The purpose of this study is to analyse the development of the grammatical competence in Spanish secondary students of English as a Foreign Language (EFL) through English-Spanish audiovisual translation (AVT). To meet this aim, a quasi-experimental methodology has been implemented. A pre-test and a post-test of grammatical competence level was carried out before and after the viewing and subsequent AVT task of fragments of the international series Game of Thrones with a group of 43 students of secondary education aged between 15 and 16 years old. Results show a moderate decrease in the number of students failing the post-test after the intervention, as well as a remarkable increase in the number of students with C and A grades, demonstrating the potential of AVT as a resource to foster the acquisition of linguistic and grammatical competence in the EFL classroom.
