| Summary: | Developing media literacy for language students is a matter of increasing concern for language teachers and educators. Initiatives have been attempted to integrate media literacy into the curriculum with a view to developing the ability to consume and create media content amongst students. This paper explores the possibilities of integrating media literacy in the courses of translation and interpretation for EFL students at UD-UFLS. It looks at how media literacy can be integrated in the delivery of course content and in the practice of translation and interpretation. The results show that, by engaging students in various forms of translating and interpreting practice, the teacher can direct students towards improving techniques that involve media analysis and content creation during both phases of media consumption and media production. Samples of student-produced media and their perceptions towards developing media literacy for enhancing translation and interpretation are also presented in this paper. |
