The main activity of the course is the visioning of films in Spanish (Spain and Latin America), giving an emphasis on a specific thematic, vocabulary, conversation and debate.
Objective
The course aims to introduce a specific problematic in a Spanish-speaking region or country through the cinema, taking into account the geopoplitical and cultural spectrum of the Spanish language. It also aims the participant to get familiarized with topics, images, customs, dialogs and vocabulary, carrying out an observation and then an analysis and comment of these elements.
Content
We work out some interaction forms focused on observation, presentation and debate. Each student does a presentation of one of the films chosen, pointing out aspects that give path to a discussion. On the other hand, he/she creates a specific glossary to be used during the lesson in which the film will be discussed.
