Abstract
The current study aims to explore the perceptions of EFL students and teachers regarding the use of the mind mapping technique to improve the writing performance of second-year EFL students at the University of Mohamed Cherif Messadia, Souk-Ahras. Additionally, it investigates the contribution of implementing mind mapping in enhancing students\' writing performance and the extent to which it aids teachers in guiding students\' writing. To address these objectives, an exploratory research design was employed, utilizing two data gathering tools: a printed questionnaire administered to 41 students and an interview conducted with 7 EFL teachers from the same department. The obtained results indicate that both EFL students and teachers hold positive perceptions regarding the effectiveness of mind mapping in enhancing learners\' writing performance. Furthermore, it was found that the use of mind mapping can significantly assist teachers in supporting students\' writing performance.However,the study also revealed that EFL students encounter various challenges when implementing the mind mapping technique in their writing.The hypotheses formulated based on these results are validated. Finally, recommendations and suggestions for further research are proposed.
