Signposting - English Language - TAMS Studies

Hello Dear Friends,

If you are preparing for IELTS, TOEFL or want to be a good writer or speaker. You can really use this vocabulary to improve your English.

This vocabulary talks about signposting. Signposting is helpful in creating a connection between the sentences and gives a soft flow which makes your audiences/readers interested. Signposting means using phrases and words to guide the reader through the content of your essay/dissertation.
There are two main types of signposting: introductions, conclusions and outlining main arguments/
the direction of the argument in paragraphs/opening phrases. connecting words help guide the reader through the argument by linking ideas, sentences and paragraphs.

To add more ideas: again, furthermore, in addition, moreover
 To compare or contrast ideas: alternatively, contrastingly, conversely, whereas
 To prove something: evidently, for this reason, because, inevitably
 To show exceptions: however, nevertheless, yet, in spite of
 To repeat or refer back to something: as has been mentioned/noted…/As previously
discussed
 To show that you will include something later: this will be discussed in detail later
 To emphasise something: definitely, obviously, inevitably, undeniably
 To give an example: for instance, in this case, in particular, notably
 To show the order of things: previously, following this, initially, subsequently, finally
