Abstract

Mind map is a powerful graphic strategy that can facilitate the students to develop ideas and concepts, it could help the students to write more organized important points, and grow critical thinking. However, writing ability requires a good level of English competencies in which most students in Indonesia still struggled to achieve. This experimental research examines and compares the impact of collaborative mind mapping to develop students’ writing skills for those students who are using it with those who aren’t. The aim of the study is to improve the student’s ability in writing Descriptive text through collaborative mind mapping. 20 students of English Conversation Class of MTsN 4 Mojokerto were featured as the participants. They were divided into two groups who are in control group and experimental group, both had the same teacher. The control group received instruction as required in the students’ workbook only, meanwhile the experimental group will be required to do a collaborative mind mapping before producing a writing product. All participants are required to do a Pre and Post test first to track their writing competence. The instruments employed in this study were writing and observation checklist. Finally, it is found that the implementation of collaborative mind mapping does improve the student’s competence in writing with the help of giving excessive vocabulary from reading a passage, and feedbacks from the researcher.
