Textual aids

 refer to non-textual elements that help

readers understand the content of the text.
They also refer to elements that stand-out
from the main text such as titles and
subtitles, bold, italicized and underlined
texts. Non-textual elements include
illustrations, maps, tables, graphs and charts.
 These aids have two main functions, namely:
first, to direct the readers’ attention to
important ideas in the text and second, to
provide more information as a supplement
to what is already written.
 Textual aids

 1. Titles and Subtitles

> Provide initial idea on what the text is all about
> Activate prior knowledge on the topic
> “Represent the key concepts (title) and supporting ideas (subtitles) in the paper”
(Elite Editing, 2015)
> Layering or positioning of these aids convey the ideas’ level of importance

Mechanical weathering physically breaks up rock. One example is called frost action or frost
 2. Illustration: Example shattering. Water gets into cracks and joints in bedrock. When the water freezes it expands
and the cracks are opened a little wider. Over time pieces of rock can split off a rock face and
big boulders are broken into smaller rocks and gravel.

 3. Tables

> Information (facts and figures) that are organized and arranged in columns and
rows
> Used to show patterns and relationships that still appeals to the readers’ verbal
system, meaning tables are supposed to be read like a text (Nussbaumer, 2011)
> Column headings - found on top of the columns; used to identify the contents
of a specific column
> Row headings - used to define or identify the contents of a specific row

easier for other people to understand it and a nonlinear text
to linear text to have a detailed description of a certain
topic.
