“…Several scholars have convincingly argued that interpreting students need to be exposed to theory and have opportunities to apply theoretical knowledge in the practical (skill-focused) interpreting exercises they undertake as part of their learning (see, for example, Hale, 2007;Orlando, 2016;Angelelli, 2017Angelelli, , 2020Ozolins, 2017;Arumí Ribas, 2020). While there are some extant recommendations for modules and classroom activities aimed at introducing interpreting students to theoretical and practical aspects of interpreted interactions related to empathy, rapport, and similar phenomena (e.g., Rodríguez Vicente, 2021; Sultanić, this issue), there is a lack of pedagogically-oriented studies focused on these aspects of interpreted interactions and on learners' acquisition of knowledge and skills related to these areas.…”
