Description This case study examines the challenges and effectiveness of teaching audiovisual translation and localization within Slavonic studies, focusing on a one-semester course at Masaryk University. The study identifies key obstacles, such as the interdisciplinary nature of the field and the scarcity of materials primarily in South Slavic languages. It highlights the importance of practical experience alongside theoretical knowledge, emphasizing the need for authentic materials and teaching methods. The course structure, divided into blocks covering translation studies, audiovisual translation, and localization, aimed to equip students with comprehensive skills for translating multimedia products. The study concludes that while the course successfully introduced students to new translation domains, extending the curriculum to separate courses for audiovisual translation and localization could enhance learning outcomes. This research contributes to developing effective teaching strategies in translation studies.
