This strategy involves arranging concepts and relationships on paper to create a semantic map, a diagram in which two key concepts are highlighted and are linked with related concepts via arrows or lines. Such a diagram visually shows how ideas fit together. This strategy incorporates a variety of other memory strategies: grouping, using imagery, and associating. This strategy is valuable for imroving both memory and comprehension of new expressions. It can be used for prelistening or prereading activities designed to help learners understand and remember vocabulary that will be heard or read. It can also be used as the basis for an entire listening or reading activity by giving the main concept or expression and asking students to listen and fill in the rest. Semantic also provides a good note taking format.
