“…En definitiva, creemos que el fansubbing, además de ser un ejemplo ilustrativo de las nuevas formas de la cultura participativa (Jenkins, 2006) y de sus novedosas implicaciones interculturales, destaca como recurso potencial para la didáctica de lenguas extranjeras, más allá del problema de delimitar los límites entre la actividad de aficionados y la enseñanza formal o de la dificultad de mediarlo empíricamente (Lakarnchua, 2015). Las prácticas descritas más arriba pueden servir como:…”

“…Por último, como los fansubbers son a la vez subtituladores-traductores y aprendices de español, participan de manera natural en contextos de aprendizaje situado (Wenger, 1998), como miembros de una comunidad de práctica (Liu y de Seta, 2014;Wenger, 1998). Además de proporcionar un ímpetu tangible a las actividades de traducción, el fansubbing también promueve la autonomía del aprendiz, brindándole oportunidades de participar en el aprendizaje colaborativo y la negociación del significado (Lakarnchua, 2015). De acuerdo con Barton y Lee (2013), dicho proceso empieza a menudo con un propósito particular (ej.…”

Resumen Documentamos y analizamos una comunidad china de fansub, que traduce y subtitula series y películas hispanas, explorando los recursos y estrategias que se utilizan para comprender y transcribir del español y traducir al chino. Con etnografía virtual (Hine, 2000), combinando observación participante, entrevistas en profundidad y análisis de contenido, los resultados describen una comunidad jerárquica, con normas que regulan los procesos colaborativos de escritura y traducción, que incluyen el uso de estrategias multimodales sofisticadas (empleo creativo de recursos técnicos, lingüísticos y webs, prácticas de translanguaging). La comunidad también desarrolla sus propios criterios sobre lo que es una buena traducción, con roles y actitudes de aprendices serios ante los errores cometidos. Dichas prácticas ejemplifican otras características relevantes de las comunidades digitales (productividad fan, mediación cultural, traducción audiovisual y amateur) y ofrecen recursos interesantes para aplicar a la enseñanza formal de L2.

“…Two respondents have mentioned that the volunteer subtitling has acted as an intermediary in developing their English and Turkish proficiency. It is worth reiterating that amateur production of the subtitles for audiovisual products contributes to the process of language learning by catering to the linguistic and the social engagement of the learners (Lakarnchua 2017). Also, as noted by Wang (2014Wang ( , 1907, "it connects closely with social development, enlarges the translation scope, and promotes the development of translation.…”

The prevailing technological feasibility has enabled the rise of the digital era and has contributed to the seemingly changing nature of translation. One of the implications of this shift has been articulated in the area of Audiovisual Translation with the emergence of online communities of volunteer subtitle translators. This paper explores the emerging phenomenon of 'volunteer subtitling' and tries to shed light on its role in the transition to 'professional subtitling.' Volunteer subtitling platforms are broad communities of practice that consist of thousands of actively involved members. Despite the increasing interest in investigating various issues regarding online volunteer translation, not much is known about the process of transition from the volunteering world into the professional one. Using the most popular Turkish subtitling platforms (Turkcealtyazi.org and Planetdp.org) as a case study, this paper will present the very first insights into this transition through an analysis of a survey with translators who started their subtitling practice as volunteers and then moved into the professional world. Based on the analysis of the respondents' experiences, it will be argued that the volunteer praxis and the active support of the online community strategically contribute to the improvement of a wide array of translation skills and open up the door for the move into the professional world. In doing so, this paper will also shed a light on both volunteer and professional environments from various perspectives like working conditions, the translation process, types of the work, and translator motivation.

“…Studies on an internet user's language skills have looked at sites for fandom of creative productions, such as fanfiction, artwork production websites (Magnifico et al, 2015), or virtual reality gaming forums (Gee, 2005). One development in this field has been the investigation of fansubbing 1 (Lakarnchua, 2015), but the study is limited to the question of whether fansubbing helps in language learning and does not explore the learning processes therein. Since English is the most common spoken language in the world (Blommaert, 2013, Haidar, 2019a, the language used to interact with other fandom members is mostly English (Aisyah, 2017).…”

The recent years have observed a notable rise in online activities and interactions. One of the popular online interaction zones are fandom communities comprising fans of any artist, band, TV show, movie, book, and so on. These fans come together on various platforms to enthuse about their favorites with people who share their admiration and interests. One such platform is Twitter and the fandom community is Stan Twitter. Within those fandoms, K-Pop fandom stands out because of the density of English as a second or foreign language speakers in this community. Taking this community as its sample, this study explores the ways in which the non-native English speaking fandom members use English to communicate on this platform. Moreover, the study focuses on the interpretation and usage of meme discourse by these non-native English speaking members. The findings reveal that the fandom members learn memetic discourse by internalizing it in the form of schemas, which means that they learn the whole chunk of interaction rather than learning individual words. The study has also explored overall language-learning within this community, and has discussed the implications of fandom activities as potential learning aids.
