In the traditional vocabulary teaching, only a simple introduction of the meaning and usage of words is boring in class, and only a simple memory after class. Such a cycle will lead to the weakening of students’ interest in learning. Students think that learning English is just memorizing words, and there is no fun at all. This is the problem existing in the current English vocabulary teaching. The application of mind mapping in vocabulary teaching can solve this problem. In vocabulary teaching, the presentation of mind map can make students learn to think, so that students will be deeply impressed with the knowledge points they have learned. As a new teaching method, it is of great significance to apply mind mapping in English vocabulary teaching. It can cultivate students’ interest in learning English, improve their attention and thinking ability. However, when applying mind mapping to teach students knowledge, teachers should also realize that mind mapping is not omnipotent. Teachers should learn to apply mind mapping scientifically and reasonably in teaching.
