Abstract

The application of mind map in the teaching of English reading can make the difficult and complex contents clear and easy, and it will help students understand the text and knowledge deeply and organize and memorize reading materials easily. It is also helpful to do writing exercises by organizing language materials. This paper takes some reading passages as examples, introduces how to use mind maps in the three reading procedures: pre-reading, while-reading and after-reading to organize the teaching plan. The application of mind map in the reading class will promote students to use the schema of language, contents and forms to understand the text effectively and to improve their reading abilities, and develop the ability of speaking and writing by reading exercises.
