Audio description Learning and assessment in interpreting classes

This book presents a series of studies conducted on an AD module that has been integrated into interpreting training at universities in Hong Kong. It represents the outcome of the synergies and many years of collaboration among regional scholars began in 2018. This book demonstrates the innate connection between AD and interpreting, as both are forms of translation delivered orally, the former being inter-semiotic and the latter interlingual. This book serves as a practical reference book at the forefront of the AD field for scholars and graduate students.
