Interpretive Communication
Also referred to as the “one-way communication”, in this mode, the
information conveyed by the sender is interpreted by the receiver in its
original form. The target has to understand the message in both written
and spoken form keeping various aspects in mind. For example, in a class,
the learners may not understand every word said by the teacher but are
expected to understand the main crux of the topic. Some of the main
highlights of Interpretative Communication are:
Learners understand, interpret, and analyse what is heard, read, or
viewed on a variety of topics. This mode of communication involves
interpreting the author or producer’s intent. There is no alternative to the
active negotiation of meaning with the writer, speaker, or the producer
Presentational Communication
Presentational Communication is another type of one-way
communication, which facilitates interpretation by members of another group
where no direct opportunity for the active negotiation of meaning between
members of the two groups exists. With this mode of communication, a
person is speaking to an audience that can be rehearsed, pre-prepared, or
scripted.
