Esittelyloppu

Esittelyloppu is a Finnish term that translates to "ending of an introduction" or "concluding part of an introduction." It refers to the final section of an introductory passage, where the author summarizes the main points that will be discussed or sets the stage for the subsequent content. This concluding part of the introduction often serves to guide the reader, reinforcing the purpose of the text and outlining the scope of the material to come. It can also briefly restate the thesis or the central question that the rest of the work aims to address.

In academic writing, essays, or reports, the esittelyloppu is crucial for establishing clarity and reader expectation. It ensures that the reader understands what to anticipate in the body of the text. For example, in an essay about climate change, the esittelyloppu might summarize the key areas of impact that the essay will explore, such as rising sea levels, extreme weather events, and the economic consequences. This final element of the introduction provides a sense of closure to the introductory section while simultaneously acting as a bridge to the main discussion. The effectiveness of an esittelyloppu lies in its ability to provide a concise yet comprehensive overview of the upcoming content without revealing too much detail.
