Summary/Abstract: This paper aims to point out the usefulness of Spanish-speaking films in teaching Spanish as a foreign language. As feature films are not created for the pur-poses of language teaching, they cannot be considered didactic materials per se. However, their usefulness for teaching a foreign language lies exactly in this feature of theirs,distinguishing them from other resources created solely for educational purposes, because they can be used as didactic materials in a different guise, which makes them more interesting for learners, and therefore also more motivating. The challenge teacher of Spanish as a foreign language faces is in presenting the richness and diversity of the societies and cultures of the Spanish-speaking world in a manner that is consistent and motivating for learners. The author of the paper believes that Spanish-speaking films, an important part of the Spanish-speaking cultural heritage, can be a means for integrating communicative skills practice with cultural competence acquisition in teaching Spanish as a foreign language.
