Abstract:	Easy-to-read language has traditionally focused on written texts. However, the increasing societal relevance of audiovisual content calls for at least two new developments. On the one hand, there is a need to implement easy-to-read language principles in other formats, such as the audiovisual. On the other hand, there is a need to consider how Easy-to-read language principles can be applied to existing audiovisual access services such as subtitling or audio description. Aware of the two above-mentioned needs, EASIT (Easy Access for Social Inclusion Training, ref. code 2018-1-ES01-KA203-05275), a European project funded under the Erasmus + Strategic Partnerships call, aims to research how easy-to-understand audiovisual content could be created and how future professionals could be trained. More specifically, it aims to map current professional and training practices in Europe and produce recommendations for audiovisual content. It also aims to list the skills that future professionals should have and to design a curriculum to train them. Finally, the project aims to generate training materials which will be integrated in a Massive Open Online Course (MOOC). The presentation will summarise the main results obtained so far in the project and will present an overview of the MOOC that is being developed. The presentation will highlight the relationship between Easy-to-Read Language and Audiovisual Translation, and the need for further training in this intersecting area.
