Abstract

This article explores the role of visual mapping techniques in the development of English language vocabulary. Vocabulary acquisition is a crucial aspect of language learning, significantly influencing learners' communication skills, reading comprehension, and overall language proficiency. The study highlights the challenges of vocabulary instruction, including retention difficulties, contextual understanding, and first-language interference. The effectiveness of visual mapping techniques such as mind maps, concept maps, and semantic networks is examined through the lens of cognitive learning theories. The findings suggest that integrating visual tools into vocabulary instruction enhances memory retention, supports active learning, and improves students' ability to categorize and recall words effectively. Additionally, the paper discusses practical applications of visual mapping in classroom settings and its benefits in fostering independent learning strategies.
