Films have been proven to be beneficial in learning and teaching of foreign languages despite being primarily viewed as a form of entertainment. They aid learners in improving their linguistics abilities as well as help enhance the inter-cultural competence. Additionally, it is one of the most effective teaching tools, since cinema has become a vital part of the youths' daily life, allowing teachers to interact with their students more effectively while upgrading the methodologies they employ in the classroom (Auñón et al., 2021). This paper focuses on highlighting the effectiveness of cinema in foreign language (FL) teaching and learning in particular the teaching-learning of Spanish as a foreign language in Indian classrooms at the intermediate level. It also proposes how different cinematographic elements can be integrated with foreign language pedagogy. Additionally, it presents a case study of teaching and learning of Spanish as a FL in an Indian classroom through a film-based teaching module employing the approach of Content-Based Instruction (CBI).
