today. Offer a complete, intellectually stimulating, and

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.
