The third edition of Cinema for Spanish Conversation includes the same stimulating exercises and conversation materials that have made the first two editions successful among students and instructors alike. The text is designed to be used in courses in which outstanding films from the Spanish-speaking world are used as springboards for classroom Spanish-language discussion. Using high-interest feature films, students hear Spanish as it is spoken in different countries and in a wide variety of situations and are encouraged to listen to and converse about the social and cultural aspects of Spanish-speaking countries around the world. Changes in the Third Edition: -Five new films: La misma luna, Arráncame la vida, Machuca, Flores de otro mundo, and Volver. -Five new readings with activities in the section Más allá de la pantalla for the five new films. -Introductory information about each film, its actors and directors, has been updated. -The exercises and activities have been re-assessed throughout and in some cases revised.

4.0 out of 5 stars
Great resource,
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Cinema for Spanish Conversation, Third Edition (Foreign Language Cinema) (Spanish Edition) (Paperback)
This book has vocabulary lists, worksheets, pre-watching activities, and topics for conversation or writing. It also has movies representing a good mix of Spanish speaking countries, so that users of the materials are exposed to a variety of dialects and accents. It is a great resource for a Spanish teacher, although my one complaint is that the majority of movies are rated R or NR, so it's much less useful as a supplement to high school curriculum. Based on the vocabulary and grammatical structures used in the activities, I would recommend this for intermediate to advanced level speakers/students.

This review is from: Cinema for Spanish Conversation, Third Edition (Foreign Language Cinema) (Spanish Edition) (Paperback)
.......because many of the movies are rated R, it cannot be used much for high school level students. I teach upper levels (Advanced Placement) and there are only a few movies in here that we can use. That being said, the exercises and vocabulary lists are excellent and the readings and activities are perfect for the students. My only advice on the next edition would be to add in a few more PG13 movies or Rated R movies without nudity.
