Using Spanish-language films can allow students to practice their listening comprehension while also learning culture as presented in the film. Some of these films may be inappropriate in your situation so be sure to screen them before you show them to your students!

This is a link to the web edition of the Spanish language newspaper "Hoy". It is useful because it allows students to read about local news in Spanish. It is also interesting to read an article on the same topic from an English language newspaper and a Spanish language newspaper and investigate the differences in opinion.
