Understanding Structural Planning in Spoken Language
Effective spoken language relies heavily on careful planning and structuring. A typical speech or presentation often begins with an introduction that outlines the main points. This is followed by the development of ideas in a logical sequence, with signposting phrases such as 'Firstly', 'In addition', and 'Finally' to guide the audience. The conclusion summarises key points and provides a final thought or call to action. The use of pauses and emphasised words further enhances clarity and impact. Skilled speakers often adapt their structure in response to audience feedback, changing the order or elaborating on points as needed.
