Step 3 – take a vocabulary quiz Posted January 21, 2017 by Yuliana Bagan
Signposts are signs at the side of a road showing directions and distances. They help a driver to get to their destination point. Why do we need signposts in presentations? They help to keep the audience informed about the flow of your presentation, which contributes to their engagement. They also help a presenter to keep track of the presentation.
This quiz introduces the signposting phrases you can use when giving a presentation. It is going to help you use the right language for various sections of your speech.
