Reimagining Interpreting: Coaching Skills for Teaching in the Age of AI - Art of Teaching Friday Forum

In this session, Özüm Arzık Erzurumlu leads a conversation on integrating coaching skills into everyday teaching practice, drawing on her work as an ICF-certified professional coach and her research on coaching frameworks in interpreter education. The session introduces a set of practical tools – reading affect before analysis, a three-move sequence for feedback conversations, growth-mindset language, the TGROW model, and the instructor's own composure under pressure. Participants will then apply these to two situations: co-writing a class contract with students, and three familiar teaching moments handled two different ways. The focus will be on practical approaches, shared challenges, and pedagogical decision-making, with time for collective reflection and exchange.
