The Impact of an E-mind Mapping Strategy on Improving Basic Stage Students’ English Vocabulary

Vocabulary knowledge is a challenging task for foreign language learners. As such, the present paper investigated the effect of E-mind mapping strategy on facing such challenge in an EFL setting. To achieve the aim of the study, the quasi-experimental research design was followed by having an experimental group entailing 25 students and a control group consisting of 25 students. Pre-post vocabulary test was developed. The present study reported statistically significant results in the mean scores of the E-mind mapping group that are attributed to the instructional strategy; thus students in the E- mind mapping group outperformed the control group in their overall vocabulary performance as well as in the vocabulary sub-skills. The most developed sub skill was precision, and the least developed sub skill was on generalization.
