Abstract

Concept-mapping is defined as a graphical tool for organizing and representing relationships between concepts indicated by a connecting line linking two concepts. It is a meaningful strategy which helps learners to learn more effectively, to record and recall information easily, and to support creative problem solving. This learning strategy in the class, help learners attend to the exercises, pay attention to important points and have a productive atmosphere for learning. Through concept mapping learners are able to externalize their existing knowledge and combine it with new knowledge rearranging and internalizing both the old and new knowledge in a graphic form. The primary features of a concept map are its hierarchical structure which identifies specific concepts, usually enclosed in circles or boxes, and the connecting lines between these concepts which indicate how knowledge of a specific concept or domain is linked to the other concepts or domains. Concept maps have been shown to help learners learn, and to facilitate the learning process. Furthermore, Educational research in the field of Second and Foreign Language Learning suggests that learning outcomes are positively affected when teaching strategies are matched to individual learning preferences. This study aims to investigate the effect of using concepts mapping on developing the learning outcome of EFL students.
