Rationale of the study To satisfy the social demand for English competence, more and more people are learning English nowadays and in many colleges or universities English has been chosen as one of the basic compulsory subjects. English learners at colleges or universities have a diverse background of English because they come from different provinces in Vietnam. Vocabulary is an important element in second language acquisition. By learning new words, learners can enhance their listening, speaking, reading and writing as well as improve comprehension and production in second language. Wilkins (1972) emphasizes the importance of vocabulary as “Without grammar, very little can be conveyed, without vocabulary, nothing can be conveyed”. Although students‟ English level is not homogenous, they have a common difficulty in recycling English vocabulary. Indeed, many students do not have the habits of recording their vocabulary in the same place and do not know how to organize them effectively. Unfortunately, their English teachers do not pay sufficient attention to teaching them strategies to organize vocabulary for the belief that it is the duty of the students at home. As organizing to recycle vocabulary is one of the main problems faced by Vietnamese learners of English, each teacher should find effective methods of organizing vocabulary and introduce them to students. Moreover, which method should be introduced to students is really a challenge for English teachers at Colleges? Nowadays, there are a number of vocabulary organizing methods in which teachers can teach students to store vocabulary and develop their own strategies to remember vocabulary. Mind mapping is believed to be one of the techniques or activities which can be used in recycling vocabulary effectively. For all the reasons mentioned above, I have decided to choose Using 1 LUAN VAN CHAT LUONG download : add luanvanchat@agmail.com mind mapping (MM) to help students at Thanh Hoa college of Agriculture and Forestry (THCAF) recycle vocabulary as my topic of my MA thesis. Aims and objectives of the study The first purpose of this study is to involve a review on the notion of MM and its applications to teaching a foreign language in teaching English vocabulary. The second purpose is to involve a mini-experiment in which I exploit the insights of MM to help students at THCAF recycle vocabulary effectively, using the course-book the college is currently using; then in order to get to know how effective MM is to recycle vocabulary, a small research is conducted to obtain the opinions from the students at THCAF. Research questions In order to address the aims of the study, the following research questions are raised for exploration: 1. What are the applications of MM to teach English vocabulary? 2. How is MM used to help students at THCAF recycle vocabulary effectively? 4. Scope of the study Given in the aims set in 2 and the research questions raised above for exploration in 3, the study cannot cover all aspects of vocabulary learning vocabulary. Through this study, I would like to apply for students at THCAF in the framework of the thesis, I would focus on the way to apply Mind Mapping in recycling English vocabulary. Methods of the study In order to achieve the aims mentioned above, the study was limited to only the first year non-major students of THCAF. These 60 students belong to two classes (CN52A1 and TT52A1). First, MM was applied in the existing classes, and then students were given questionnaires that they can write down their ideas about this new teaching method. Interviews with the students were conducted to get more information to support the study. The data were recorded both formally and informally. 2 LUAN VAN CHAT LUONG download : add luanvanchat@agmail. Design of the study This study is divided as follows: Part A: Introduction In this part, I would like to give out the rationale and the aims and objectives, the research questions, the scope, the methods and the organization to do this thesis. Part B: Development Chapter 1: Literature Review This chapter focuses on some basic knowledge of MM in general and MM in teaching vocabulary in particular. Chapter 2: The Study describes the method based on study carried out with the description of participants, data collection instruments, data collection procedures and analysis procedures. It also gives a brief introduction to THCAF and teaching and learning English, English teachers, students and the course-book (Lifeline- Elementary) that the college is currently using. Besides, in this chapter, it attempts to describe in detail three places where vocabulary is recycled for the students at THCAF, using the course-book “Lifelines- Elementary”. Chapter 3: Data Analysis and Findings arrive at a preliminary confirmation about the effectiveness of MM in helping students recycle vocabulary; a questionnaire is designed to obtain students‟ opinions. When there is some doubt about the results of the questionnaire, an informal interview is conducted. Part C: Conclusion In this chapter, I would like to give an overview of what have been said in the paper as well as some of my own comments. 3 LUAN VAN CHAT LUONG download : add luanvanchat@agmail.com Part B: DEVELOPMENT Chapter 1: LITERATURE REVIEW In this chapter, four theoretical backgrounds about mind mapping will be introduced, they are mind mapping, the birth of mind mapping, how to create mind mapping and the application of mind mapping in some aspects. The Definition of Mind Mapping Your brain is a super bi-o computer that dwarfs any machine on the market. If you understand how it works and how to work with it, you can employ and enjoy astonishing powers of learning, memory, concentration, and creativity in planning and structuring thought on at levels. This chapter would provide a comprehensive operating manual for all who want to use their brains to their fullest potential. That is called Mind Mapping, so what is it? Different scholars have different definitions. From encyclopedia website, wikipedia.org, a Mind Map is a diagram used to represent words, ideas, tasks or other items linked to and arranged radically around a central key word or idea. Mind Maps are used to generate, visualize, structure, and classify ideas and as an aid in study, organization, problem-solving, decision making and writing. This is a simple explanation which does not cover the detail of word. Therefore, to understand more about the meaning of this word, we should see the explanation of Mind Mapping‟s Buzan, the memory expert. According to Buzan (2000) in “The mind map book”, Mind Mapping is defined that The Mind Map is an expression of Radiant Thinking and is, therefore, a natural function of the human mind. It is a powerful graphic technique which provides a universal key to unlocking the potential of the brain. The mind Map can be applied to every aspect of life where improved learning and clearer thinking will enhance human performance. 4 LUAN VAN CHAT LUONG download : add luanvanchat@agmail.com Mind Maps may be enhanced and enriched with color, pictures, codes and dimension to add interest, beauty and individuality. These in turn aid creativity, memory and specially the recall of information. Mind Maps help you to make a distinction between your mental storage capacity, which your Mind Map will help you demonstrate, and your mental storage efficiency, which your Mind Map will help you achieve. Storing data efficiently multiplies your capacity. It is like the difference between a well-packed or badly warehouse, or a library with or without an ordering system. Characteristics of Mind Mapping According to Buzan and (2000) in “The mind map book”, the Mind Map has four essential characteristics: a) The subject of attention is crystallized in a central image. b) The central themes of the subjects radiate from the central image as branches. c) Branches comprise a key image or key word printed on an associated line. Topics of lesser importance are also represented as branches attached to higher level branches. d) The branches form a connected nodal structure. The Birth of Mind Mapping Mind maps (or similar concepts) have been used for centuries in learning, brainstorming, memory, visual thinking, and problem solving by educators, engineers, psychologists, and others. Some of the earliest examples of mind maps were developed by Porphyry of Tyros, a noted thinker of the 3rd century, as he graphically visualized the concept categories of Aristotle. Philosopher Lull (1235 - 1315) also used mind maps. The semantic network was developed in the late 1950s as a theory to understand human learning and developed into mind maps by Collins and Ross Quillian during the early 1960s.
