Abstract
The purpose of the present study is to investigate the
effect of using some visual learning strategies on developing the
5th year primary students’ EFL writing skills. Reviewing
literature and related studies and using students’ questionnaires,
the researcher came up to the most suitable visualized writing
skills for the experimental primary school students and stated
them in a checklist. Accordingly, a story writing program, based
on using two visual learning strategies ″mind mapping and story
mapping″ was designed to develop those skills throughout the
computer use. To carry out the experiment of the study, a group
of 24 participants from the 5th year experimental primary school
students were randomly selected in Hadaik El Maadi
experimental language school to be the experimental group. A
pre-post writing test was designed to determine the effect of
both strategies before and after experimentation. Analysis of
data obtained showed much higher significant differences in
favor of the experimental group in overall writing and in each
writing sub-skill (content, organization and vocabulary). Also,
discussion of findings, recommendations and suggestions for
further studies were included. Finally, it was concluded that the
present study provided evidence for the effectiveness of using
visual learning strategies on developing EFL writing skills.
Key words: EFL writing skill, Visual Learning strategies, mind
mapping and story mapping.
