En pantalla En pantalla presents TV clips from around the Spanish-speaking world connected to the language, vocabulary, and theme of the lesson.

Introduction paragraphs (in English through Lesson 6) set the context for the authentic TV clips. Use the comprehension questions (with suggested answers) to check students’ understanding.
