The handbook is a compilation of various linkers, providing learners with a comprehensive guide to their usage. By exploring different types of linkers and their functions, students can enhance their understanding of sentence connections and improve their overall language skills. This engaging and informative compilation not only makes learning more interesting but also deepens students' knowledge of how linkers contribute to coherence and fluency in writing. Through this activity, students develop a stronger command of language, making their communication more effective and polished.
