This language classroom article demonstrates how L2 (second language) feature films, through the incorporation of tasks that facilitate comprehension, interpretation, and cultural comparison, can be used at a range of levels to teach students about immigration and other global challenges. While the scaffolding strategies described in the article are used to support learners viewing the films, "La misma luna" (Riggen, 2007) and "Adú" (Calvo, 2020), they can be applied to L2 feature films on nearly any topic.
