Abstract.Mind mapping is a tool for radioactive thinking using images and associations. It has the characteristics of visibility, divergence, radioactivity and multi-dimension. It is a popular revolutionary thinking tool in the 21st century. It was developed in the 1970s by Tony Buzan. This method is famous for inducing the development of left and right brain functions, and making it concrete by assisting memory with shapes, colors and symbols. It has far-reaching influence in many fields. At present, there are still some problems in English vocabulary teaching in China. What’s more, mind mapping is rarely widely used in vocabulary teaching. Therefore, this paper aims to explain how to use mind mapping to help solve the current problems of students' vocabulary.
Keywords. Mind Mapping; Vocabulary Teaching; Senior High School.
