3. Conclusions and recommendations.

Today we are witnessing the interdependence and interdependence of the nations
of the world in information technology, knowledge and science, technology, education
and culture. In this context, English acts as an important communication tool for the
country's economic, scientific and technological development and regional
integration, as well as for cultural exchanges between countries. in the region and in
the world. The ability to communicate in English is one of the basic skills that need to
be formed for the young generation in Vietnam in general and the 7th grade students
in Mai Lam secondary school in particular. Therefore, the teaching and learning
English in junior high school in general and junior high school students Mai Lam
secondary school in particular should be formed and develop communication capacity
in English. Teaching English at the lower secondary level helps students to broaden
their horizons, enrich their life experiences, develop their thinking ability and improve
their cultural and social understanding. the nation, the people of the world as well as
the deeper understanding of the social culture of their own nation, laying the
groundwork for continuing higher education, lifelong learning and comprehensive
development student's. To do that, teachers have to take many measures in which the
innovation of teaching methods is a compulsory requirement in order to create a
dynamic learning atmosphere, students learn positively, achieve quality and
efficiency. high. So, I applied a lot of methods in the teaching process but I found that
the method of teaching the vocabulary of the mind mapping is to draw the attention of
the students in the class. It helps them to develop their ideas, to form independent
2


thinking minds, so that they can actively participate in the process of knowledge
acquisition.
For the above reasons and what is summarized by the application of mind
mapping in English teaching and learning in the past time I boldly wrote the subject
"Teaching English vocabulary to Mai Lam junior high school students of class 7
using the method of mind map ". I hope to show the application of mind mapping is

+ Research on textbooks in English class 7, instructing the implementation of
knowledge standards, skills in lower secondary English - Vu Thi Loi, thinking
mapping - optimal thinking tools will do. Change the life of your friend TonyBuzan.
+ Through practice after nearly 8 years of self.
1.5. New points of experience initiative.
Help students to think vocabulary in grammatical terms, and express the
vocabulary of the syllabus.
2. The content of the experience initiative.
2.1. Basis for argument
In the current trend of globalization, we have been implementing open policies to
integrate with the international community in many fields such as economics,
politics, commerce, tourism, education. Education plays an important role in the
preparation of quality human resources of each country and provides learning
opportunities for every citizen. Lifelong education has become a demand and
commitment of every nation. Education systems, programs and methods of
education continue to be changed in order to eliminate all divisions in schools, to
provide modern knowledge to meet the new requirements of the economy. With
that opening mechanism in our country, foreign language has become a very
important means because a philosopher has said that "Knowing a foreign
language is like having a new human being." Only foreign languages can help us
reach the world of civilization, cultural exchange and the connection of global

friendship. Therefore, the Ministry of Education and Training has developed a
foreign language project in the period 2008 - 2020 and former Deputy Prime
Minister Nguyen Thien Nhan has emphasized the project of teaching and
learning foreign languages in the national education system phase 2008 - 2020 to
shift from teaching foreign languages as a subject to teaching as a tool to live,
work and integrate internationally, turning foreign languages from our

b. Teaching vocabulary

So with this old test, teachers will teach students to get used to the way they
learn and memorize thematic vocabulary in a systematic way. In addition, when
examining reading assignments, students not only grasp the main points of the
lesson, but they again remember the vocabulary in context and their use instead
of just remembering individual words. As before and once you know how to
use the vocabulary, you will probably remember longer and use them more

flexibly. Moreover, while presenting and explaining the diagram they will
gradually practice their speaking skills in front of the crowd, increasing their
confidence as well as their ability to speak English.
There are many tools to help us create mind mapping, whether we have a
specialized software or only pen and paper, we can also create an interesting
map to learn vocabulary for ourselves.
After finishing unit 10, unit 11, unit 12, I am going to combine the elements
for good health with the following thinking map:
First, choose a general topic for which students want to learn vocabulary.
Themes can be as simple as colors, food, animals, ... but we will be
surprised when our thinking leads us far. Take a look at the mind map

Even though I have tried my best not to stop. However, the application of
thinking maps to vocabulary teaching is a process and a lot of intellectual
effort. Therefore, the application in teaching is not much, I look forward to
everyone to see and help me to complete the topic. I sincerely thank.
