Thinking Visualization in English Teaching for Junior High School

Abstract

This paper explores the significance and application of thinking visualization in junior high school English teaching. Visualization, employing tools like mind maps, pictures, videos, and charts, transforms abstract language concepts and text structures into concrete, visual representations. This approach enhances students’ comprehension of vocabulary and grammar, improves information retention, fosters creativity, and accommodates diverse learning styles. Key classroom strategies include using mind maps to organize texts, multimedia resources to aid understanding, and charts to analyze data. Despite challenges like resource constraints, time demands, and assessment difficulties, thinking visualization proves effective in stimulating learning interest, developing logical thinking, and improving overall English reading quality and efficiency.
