Spanish to English translations [Non-PRO] Computers (general) / Department name
Spanish term or phrase:Locución
Hi there,
In the case of an online course, there is a section of videos which are powerpoints with a voice over.
In the spanish course this section is called "LOCUCIÓN" and in english I am not sure what to call it?
Maybe "TUTORIALS" or "VOICE OVER" or "VOICE OVER SESSIONS" or "TUTORIAL SESSIONS"
What is the common name for this kind of online course material?
Could the term "locución" have anything to do with the subject matter of the videos? What is the subject of the online course? What is (are) the subject(s) of the videos? I have a few ideas, but they are all very much context-dependent.

I believe that the word "idiom" or "idiomatic expression" is most often used to refer to locution.
Example sentence(s):
Locution may also signify an idiom or idiomatic expression.
