How should i organize my talk?

There are many different ways you can organize your ideas and arguments in a presentation. Which you choose will depend partly on how long your talk is going to be but mainly on your topic. 
In many ways, preparing a talk is similar to preparing an essay - the talk needs to be organized and structured, with a beginning, a middle and an end.

How is the presentation structured?

Below is the framework that was used to structure this presentation.

1. Title 
The title of your presentation.

2. Greeting and introduction 
Briefly state what your topic is.

3. Overview 
Give a brief overview of the structure of your talk and how you will deal with the topic.

4. Main part of the talk 
The longest part. It should be clearly organized in a logical way.

5. Conclusion 
Summarize your points. Make any recommendations or suggestions for further work. Invite questions.

Introduction, Overview and Conclusion

In this model the presenter has written out the introduction, overview and conclusion in full.

The benefits of learning a foreign language.

Greeting and introduction
(Briefly state what your topic is.)

Good morning.

My talk today examines the benefits of learning a foreign language.

Overview
(Give a brief overview of the structure of your talk and how you will deal with the topic.)

I intend to outline three important benefits of learning another language:

The first benefit I shall describe is practical - speaking another language means we can communicate with other nationalities.

A further benefit is increased cultural understanding - when people can speak the same language, this breaks down barriers and bridges the gap between cultures.

The final benefit that I shall describe is improved cognitive skills. Research shows that learning another language increases our brain power

Conclusion
(Summarize your points. Make any recommendations or suggestions for further work. Invite questions).

In conclusion, I believe it is clear that there are huge benefits to be gained from learning a foreign language. I would even go so far as to say that it should be compulsory for all school children to learn at least one language for several years. The benefits that it will bring to them and society in general are too great to be ignored. I have never regretted the work I have put in to learning English.

If anyone has any questions I would be very pleased to try to answer them.
