 Interpretive Talk and Presentation Techniques

Assalamualaikum and hello there, today I will going to share with you about Interpretive Talk and Presentation Techniques, have you ever heard about it?

Definition:

        Interpretive  presentation is an appropriate for the audience and provides a clear focus for their connection with the resources by demonstrating the cohesive development of a relevant idea or ideas, rather than relying primarily on a recital of a chronological narrative or a series of related facts.

 How is the effective interpretive presentation going on? 

1. Successful as a catalyst in creating an opportunity for the audience to form their own intellectual and emotional connections with meanings / significance inherent in the resource.
2. Suitable for the crowd and gives an unmistakable concentration to their  association with the assets by showing the durable  advancement of a significant thought or thoughts, instead of depending  fundamentally on a presentation of a sequential story or a progression of  related realities.

Interpretive Communication Plan

• Identify the audience    - background, ability, culture, social level etc.                                                          (Make sure the messages are relevant                                                                     and meaningful to the audience).

• Theme                              - unique and interesting.

• Objective assessment   - in a format that can be evaluated.

• Preparation area             - location, period, group size.

• Reference sources         - books, internet, brochures.

• Programme guidelines  - the structure, the introduction of the topic,                                                            outline, conclusion.

Interpretive Communication Method

• Preparation stage             - came early, dressed, always ready and in                                                               confidence.

• The first moment               - the first 30 seconds are the most critical                                                               time to create a friendly atmosphere,                                                                       avoid any obstacles, smiles,                                                                                      eye-contact, casual, not                                                                                              too formal.

• Start the communication  - do not cram, do not hide the notes,                                                                          body language, use humor, questions                                                                       and tools to create the mood.

• Voice                                   - clear, intonation, pause, emphasis on                                                                      narrative situation "warn if something                                                                     important will happen".

Interpretive Communication Tips

• Body language  - mimic face, feeling, walking with reason, avoid                                                    shaking or hiding hands/legs.

• Active verb        - avoid “fillers” (eeemmm, eerr, apa?), sentence                                                       repetition, apologise.

• Props and aids  - something interesting but you can control it.

• Humor                - must be relevant, easily caught, not offend, do not                                              make the audience as a joke - if you need, make                                                   yourself a target.

• Questioning       - focus / process / evaluative / rhetorical.

Questioning

  Focus Questions          -  basic: who? what? where? / What do you                             know about global warming?

  Process Questions      -  audience need to give a wide answer and                            think / What does it mean..? 

  Evaluative Questions  -  audience’s view and opinion, give                                                                                        them to judge and make an evaluation /                                          Why do human always think that..?

  Rhetoric Questions     -  no need answers from the audience,                                                                                 let them think what is the answers /                                            If global warming is happening, 

      what will happen to mankind?
