This paper adopts the research method of comparative experiment to explore which specific vocabularies in English texts should link together using mind mapping and which kinds of vocabularies are suitable for holistic learning method. Helped with the experimental process, this paper explores the problems of mind mapping in primary school English vocabulary teaching, analyzes the causes, and finally puts forward some feasible countermeasures.
