THE ANALYSIS OF MIND MAPPING ON WRITING SKILLS IN EFL CLASSROOMS STUDENTS’ PERCEPTION
Keywords:
Mind mapping, writing skill, EFL
Abstract
This qualitative study explores students'
perceptions of mind mapping as a tool for enhancing
writing skills in English as a Foreign Language (EFL)
classrooms. Through semi-structured interviews and focus
group discussions with twenty intermediate EFL learners,
the research investigates how mind mapping influences
their writing processes, creativity, and overall engagement
with the language. The findings reveal that students view
mind mapping as a valuable strategy that aids in organizing
their thoughts, generating ideas, and improving their
confidence in writing. Participants also express a preference
for visual learning tools, highlighting the role of mind
mapping in making the writing process more enjoyable and
less intimidating. This study contributes to the
understanding of student-centered approaches in language
education and emphasizes the importance of incorporating
innovative strategies to foster effective writing skills
