TRADILEX Wins an Award from the UNED Social Council
The TRADILEX project, led by Dr. Noa Talaván, professor at the Department of Foreign Languages and Linguistics at UNED, has been awarded a prize in the category of Management, Administration, and Services for the 2022-2023 academic year. This award, with a grant of 7,000 euros, aims to promote the continuous improvement of public higher education through innovative and high-quality best practices.
TRADILEX, based on the concept of Audiovisual Translation for Teaching (TAD), uses translation as a tool to enhance linguistic competencies. Its methodology encourages students to create subtitles, voiceovers, and audio descriptions, developing both language skills and creativity.
Additionally, the project has created a free and accessible platform, tradilex.es, offering resources to develop English language skills (levels B1, B2, and C1) as well as French. This innovative approach has had a significant impact both nationally and internationally, contributing to the educational community.

TRADILEX Receives Honorable Mention in the “Luis Rodriguez” Award
Dr. Pilar Rodríguez Arancón and researcher Antonio Jesús Tinedo Rodríguez have been awarded an honorable mention for the best research work in the field of interculturality. This recognition is granted in light of their research titled “The Integration of Didactic Audiovisual Translation and Interculturality in the Design of Pedagogical Proposals: A Mixed Analysis on Teacher Training,” which has been distinguished with the XI “Luis Rodríguez” Award for research on interculturality.
This prestigious award has been granted by the Cátedra Intercultural “Luis Rodríguez”, Córdoba “Ciudad de Encuentro”, an entity affiliated with the University of Córdoba and renowned for its contribution to the promotion of diversity and intercultural understanding.
The research highlights the importance of training language teachers in the field of interculturality and empirically demonstrates how joint training in the design of pedagogical proposals based on Didactic Audiovisual Translation and Interculturality is positively valued by language teachers. Furthermore, the proposals they are able to develop after the training adhere to certain quality standards.
The receipt of this honorable mention is part of the context of the I+D+i research project TRADILEX. It is important to emphasize that this research has been carried out within the research group Tradit at the National Distance Education University (UNED), under the coordination of the academic Noa Talaván.
The work will soon be published as a book chapter by UCOPress (University of Córdoba), and the award will be presented at the 5th International Conference on Intercultural and Gender Education (CIEIG 2023).
