Summarizing argument
If your paper offers a strong argument or strategy, then the conclusion is the place to summarize it. The reader then goes away with a clear impression of your main points. This kind of conclusion would also be useful to readers scanning papers who look to the conclusion for a summary of the main argument.

Lexicon-driven learning as a strategy for virtual language learning
As we have seen the fundamental principle of the Virtual Language Centre approach is the integration of vocabulary, lexicon, concordancing and multimedia on a unified platform. At the centre of the language learning process is the basic problem of vocabulary building, and in the final analysis the speed at which the student learns the language is limited to how fast the vocabulary can be absorbed. Traditional dictionaries are time consuming to use. Lexicon-driven learning on the other hand offers not only faster access, it also integrates the lexicon into a broad range of language learning activities such as reading, gap filling, synonym practice exercises and so on. It is clear that the reliability, helpfulness and comprehensiveness of the dictionary is thus crucial to the success and value of the "virtual language learning classroom" as a whole, and indeed to the entire validity of this conceptual strategy.
