The stories the students wrote for thieir podcasts, are an outgrowth of the textbook we use in the Spanish Language Progam at Kennard. The textbook borrows heavily from the TPR method of teaching, which is Total Physical Response begun by James Asher in the 1920’s. Basically students learn Spanish by acting it out. The textbook uses simple TPR stories in cartoon form. The podcasts are inspired by these stories.
