Cultural Tip
In French, *présentation* is a neutral term suitable for both academic and professional settings. For a more formal academic context, you might prefer *exposé* or *intervention*. Also, avoid using *parler à* (talk to) when you mean *parler de* (talk about), as the preposition changes the meaning entirely.
