A Study on the Application of Mind Map in Junior High School English Reading Teaching
ABSTRACT
Reading, as one of the four basic skills of English, is an important means of knowledge learning and information acquisition. In the recent years, reading comprehension has become a significant standard to measure studentsrsquo; language abilities. As reading has attracted more and more attention from scholars, a systematic instrument---mind map is applied to it gradually. As a tool of knowledge representation, mind map has been successfully combined with some subjects. However, the researchers are inconsistent on the conclusions of the application of mind map to English reading teaching.
In order to explore the practical application of mind map in junior high school and its influence on studentsrsquo; reading interest, the author selected two classes of Grade Eight in Hangzhou NO. 13 Middle School, and conducted questionnaire surveys and interviews with 89 students and 6 teachers. The conclusions of the research are drawn as follows.
First, English reading teaching assisted by mind map can stimulate studentsrsquo; interest in English reading. After three months of experiment, many students begin to consciously discover and explore problems. Their reading initiative is improved, and they can gradually gain pleasure in English reading.
Second, in English reading teaching in junior high schools, mind maps are often used in expositions, and then followed by narrations with clear structures.
Third, most English teachers are reluctant to use mind maps because of the lack of specific training, heavy workload and studentsrsquo; inactive reaction.
Key words: mind map; junior high school; English reading teaching
