rent words. For example,there lies inner connection in the regular combination of some letters, and some wordsare close in meaning and similar in spelling.

What's more, by consulting related information, the authorfound although it was universally acknowledged that mind mapping was useful in thememorization of words in foreign countries, still it has not been proved by empiricaldata up to now. thesis based on mind mapping can hardly be found in terms ofresearch paper which represents research result. However, thesis based on conceptmapping can be found everywhere. This is a sharp contrast between the two of them.Generally speaking, there are not enough researches on teaching practice involving inguidance of mind mapping, and experience on how to conduct teaching with mindmapping is not adequate. Research paper on mind mapping can be hardly found in ourcountry, let alone thesis concerning teaching. Besides, researches on mind mapping'sassistance to vocabulary memorizing strategy in foreign countries focus onjunior-high school, while applied research in elementary school is still weak. In myopinion, the author thinks it has important time background reasons and necessity toexplore simple and practical English words learning strategy and classroom teachingmethods; in addition, it is a good way to combine mind mapping with English wordsmemorizing, thus the pupils' memorizing of English words can be accelerated with thehelp of mind mapping. Therefore, the author decides to conduct the applied researchon mind mapping's guidance on the English vocabulary memorizing in ruralelementary school.
