Nội dung chính của bài viết
Tóm tắt
While vocabulary acquisition is a challenge for many language learners, mind mapping technique is believed to offer an effective way for them to improve vocabulary learning ability. This experimental study involved 90 students from classes 10A11 and 10A12 at Luong Dac Bang High School to assess the impact of mind map on vocabulary retention. The results from survey questionnaires, interview, pre-test, post-test and regular tests over 8 weeks indicate that students in the experimental group showed significant improvement in vocabulary knowledge compared to the control group. This affirms the role of mind maps in enhancing students’ vocabulary.
