Hi
Since you have given a specific topic of Basic Communication skills your task is relatively simpler. Look up in this site by doing a search for PPT on Communication skills. You are also welcome to visit my website www.actspot.com and check the courses to get an overview of the sub topics under communication skills.
Now that you have a broad idea of the topics decide the topics that you think is relevant to the audience and that can be covered in the time frame allotted to you. Ensure that there is a good flow and transition between the topics so that there is a logical build up of and synergy. Now focus on the specifics to be covered under each sub module and pay attention to the examples and exercises that will reinforce the learning.
If using PPT ensure that the PPT supplements the inputs you share and is not cluttered with information. Work out ways and means to engage the participants since it is not a teaching but a training session. You will have to practice extensively to get a good grasp of your material as also to become aware of areas of improvement. Dont hesitate to do mock presentations to friends or family to get their feedback and suggestions.
Remember your confidence in yourself is the key to being a great trainer. You can be confident of your ability to deliver excellently only if you are confident about your preparation, your material and your grasp over your subject.
Best Wishes

Do your Training Needs Assessment first to determine what skills are needed, then develop your training course from that.
If you are not an experienced trainer, then you would be far better to engage a professional to do this job.
Training is not standing in a room reading out the words on a powerpoint you have obtained from someone else. The trainees can sit at their desk and do that in their spare time, and save the company's money.
