This monographic number shows how literature, cinema, and other cultural materials can be integrated into teaching language and literature in Spanish through various activities. This enriches the educational process, providing students with a broader context for language learning. This material helps develop linguistic and analytical skills, fosters a more complete understanding of the cultures and realities of the Spanish-speaking world, and includes relevant topics and issues such as gender equality, racism, etc. Various methodologies are presented that promote group work through debates, discussions, and other products that involve creating content to consume, turning students into active subjects. Cultural resources allow students to learn the language, analyze literary texts, and understand the cultures, historical moments, and social situations that have influenced the production of these materials. Moreover, by including a variety of media and genres, those who teach can foster more profound and meaningful learning tailored to the students' interests and contexts.           Teresa Fernández-Ulloa y Miguel Soler Gallo
