Each chapter of the book is devoted to a single movie and includes aids for students watching the film, discussing and writing about the film, and understanding the film in a broader cultural context. Each chapter contains vocabulary helpful to understanding and discussing the film, structured exercises in understanding the film once it has been viewed -- especially for discussion in class -- and, new to the second edition, an accompanying reading for each film designed to provide perspective on the film itself. This best-selling textbook, by author Anne-Christine Rice, continues to define language learning through film.
