Abstract
A Scholarly Teaching Adventure…
In this adventure essay, an educator takes two trips. First, she heads to the Amazon rainforest and is awestruck by her students’ motivation and learning. Then, with you in tow, she embarks on a scholarly journey to discover what happened and why. You are invited to scrutinize her scholarly souvenirs and begin an adventure of your own with a Reader’s Response for our next issue or with participation on the IJ-SoTL listserv.

My professional vision is to educate, inspire, and equip others to maximize the transformative power of the spoken word. I teach intercultural communication, teaching methods for speech teachers, oral interpretation, public speaking, and conflict. Current research includes a communication education project with clergy (and their 5,000+ listeners).
