Researchers and scholars of interpreter education, such as Cynthia Roy, Elizabeth Winston, and Christine Monikowski, have long called attention to the need for instituting evidence-based practices in our field. The importance of the Student-Teacher Relationship is a well-researched phenomena and is taught as a core principle in teacher education programs across the country. However, the dynamics and complexity of relationship-building have made it challenging for even teacher educators to translate Relational-Cultural Theory (RCT) into practice. It is the presenter’s claim that we should draw on existing education research theory, such as RCT, in combination with practitioner inquiry, to create and document best practices that improve the teaching and learning of interpretation and translation.
This interactive workshop aims to provide an overview of Student-Teacher Relationship literature, the Relational Cultural Theory framework, and their proposed implications on teaching and learning. The presenter will share examples from a self-study she conducted examining the practices she performs in and out of the classroom centered on the Student-Teacher Relationship. Themes around critical consciousness, reflexivity, communication, connection, vulnerability, courage, hope, high quality feedback, and authentic learning experiences will be examined.
