IMAGINA Film Collection
Fully integrated with your textbook, the IMAGINA film collection contains short-subject films by Hispanic filmmakers that are the basis for the pre- , while- , and post-viewing activities in the Cortometraje section of each lesson. Every film is preceded by a brief video introduction in Spanish that provides context, increases comprehension, and connects the film to the lesson theme.
These films offer entertaining and thought-provoking opportunities to build students' listening comprehension skills and cultural knowledge of Spanish speakers and the Spanish-speaking world.
Besides providing entertainment, the films serve as a useful learning tool. As students watch the films, they will observe characters interacting in various situations, using real-world language that reflects the lesson themes as well as the vocabulary and grammar you are studying.
