xxiii + 77 hlm.; 18 x 25 cm This quasi-experimental study investigates the effectiveness of mind mapping in enhancing procedural text writing skills among Grade VIII students at MTs Negeri 2 Serang City, Indonesia. The research addresses common challenges in English writing, such as idea organization, vocabulary limitations, and logical sequencing, which hinder students’ performance in procedural texts. Two classes were selected: Class 8D (experimental, n=30) received mind mapping instruction, while Class 8E (control, n=30) followed conventional methods. Data were collected through pre-tests, post-tests, and questionnaires, analyzed using t-tests, Mann-Whitney U tests, Wilcoxon Signed-Rank tests, and Cohen’s d for effect size. Results revealed a significant improvement in the experimental group’s post-test scores (mean: 82.17) compared to the pre-test (mean: 53.90), with a large effect size (d=3.98). The control group showed minimal progress (pre-test mean: 51.60; post-test mean: 56.07). Questionnaire responses indicated positive student perceptions, with over 60% agreeing that mind mapping improved idea structuring, vocabulary expansion, and engagement in writing. The findings confirm that mind mapping fosters clarity, coherence, and motivation in procedural writing. This study contributes empirical evidence to EFL teaching strategies, recommending mind mapping integration in junior high curricula to address writing difficulties. Limitations include sample size and context specificity, suggesting avenues for broader research. 428 UIN SMH Banten Perpustakaan Pusat SKRIPSI TBI 2592 SKRIPSI TBI 2592 My Library SKRIPSI TBI 2592 31529 2026-03-04 09:26:17 2026-03-04 09:26:30 machine generated
