Cartelera provides an exciting learning experience where culture takes a central role as the context for linguistic production. Based on eight highly acclaimed feature films from Spain and Latin America, this unique book is designed for students of Spanish language and culture at the intermediate to advanced level. It may be used either as the primary text in a culture, conversation, or film course, or as an enriching supplement to any existing language program.Specifically developed to exploit the content and themes presented in each of the films, the activities in Cartelera are designed to encourage language development while fostering a greater appreciation for and a heightened cultural awareness of the Spanish-speaking world. Through the use of discussion, debate, analysis, dramatization, and creative writing, students will expand their vocabulary and significantly improve their language proficiency in a stimulating environment.
