INTERPRETIVE TALK AND PRESENTATION TECHNIQUE

 Hai guys, so today I'm gonna share with you guys about what is interpretive talk and presentation technique. 

Describe Effective interpretive Talk Development

-Also 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 idea. 

Prepared Effective Interpretive Talk and Presentation

Freeman Tilden

-The heritage interpretation work at HDC International is based on the inspirational writings of the father of heritage interpretation.

-He was born in Malden in Massachusetts in 1883. He began his writing as a book reviewer for his father's newspaper. As a writer, Freeman Tilden was able to travel around the world. 

-His first book "The National Parks: What They Mean to You and Me" was published in 1951.

-Freeman Tilden was died on May 13, 1980, at the age of 96. 

Freeman Tilden's six principles of interpretative communication

• Any interpretation that does not somehow relate what is being displayed or described to something within the personality or experience of the visitor will be sterile.

• Information, as such, is not Interpretation. Interpretation is revelation based on information. But they are entirely different things. However, all interpretation includes information.

• Interpretation is an art, which combines many arts, whether the materials presented are scientific, historical, or architectural. Any art is to some degree teachable.

• The chief aim of Interpretation is not instruction, but provocation.

• Interpretation should aim to present a whole rather than a part, and must address itself to the whole person rather than any phase.

• Interpretation addressed to children (say, up to the age of twelve) should not be a dilution of the presentation to adults, but should follow a fundamentally different approach. To be at its best it will require a separate program.

Interpretation Theme

What is theme?

-The whole idea is described in a single sentences.

Good theme

-Can connect object or places (tangible) with intent or ideas or emotions (intangibles)

Good interpretation theme

-Specific, simple and compact.
-Communicate idea and complete information.
-Uncovering the main purpose of presentation.
-Contains only 1 key information.

Should Also
-Has a story.
-Use active language.
-Answer the "so what" question.
-Provokes and attention getters.
-Convey positive information.

(2) Interpretive Communication Structure

-Pow! - Attract the audience attention with provocation start.
-Brigde - Give the answer to the last provocation (reveal).
-Body - Give examples of the message (relate). Why was that said? What does it mean?
-Conclusion - Give a conclusion to the presentation that was made - there must be a "call for action". Give the answer to the question "so what?"

(3) 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.
• Programmed guidelines - the structure, the introduction of the topic, outline, conclusion.

(4) 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".

(5) 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?
