De Pelicula!: Spanish Conversation through Film

As with the parent text, ¡De Pelicula! provides a context for listening to the film through previewing exercises, background information, vocabulary, cultural material, and post-viewing exercises, including student exercises to be done in small groups. This version covers eight films and may be used as a primary or ancillary text in fourth year high school courses, for community college courses—especially those language courses taught in the evening—or in single-semester courses at most colleges.

All films are new to this edition and come from a range of Spanish-speaking countries, All may be easily obtained for classroom viewing or language labs, or for students to purchase or rent on their own. Films covered: La misma luna (Under the Same Moon), Danzon, De eso no se habla (I Don't Want to Talk About It), Un lugar en el mundo (Place in the World), Machuca, Guantanamera (Guantanamero), Nueba Yol (Nueba Yol: Vol 1 & 3), El viaje de Carol (Carol's Journey).
