The Next Generation of Research in Interpreter Education: Pursuing Evidence-Based Practice

This collection contributes to an emerging body of research in sign language interpreter education, a field in which research on teaching practices has been rare. *The Next Generation of Research in Interpreter Education* investigates learning experiences and teaching practices that provide the evidence necessary to inform and advance instructional approaches. The five studies included in this volume examine role-play activities in the classroom, the experiences of Deaf students in interpreting programs, reducing anxiety in the interpreting process, mentoring, and self-assessment. The contributors are a nascent group of educators who represent a growing mastery of contemporary standards in interpreter education. Their chapters share a common theme: the experiences and learning environments of students as they progress toward entry into the interpreting profession.
