The study suggests recommendations on improving the writing proficiency of Saudi EFL learners.Īl-Ahdal, A. The remarkable benefits are accruing from mind mapping as a digital brainstorming technique in enhancing attitudes of Saudi EFL learners to writing skills. Results revealed that the use of mind mapping improved the writing interest of the students. The intervention used a freely available digital mind mapping software over three weeks, focusing wholly on writing proficiency. The respondents were 40 male English students at Qassim University, Saudi Arabia, with below-average writing performance. The study employed a pre-test-post-test experimental research design. This research aims to enhance students' writing efficiency and mindset by utilizing mind mapping as an interactive brainstorming tool. Developing a constructive outlook about writing by English as a Foreign Language (EFL) Saudi students would better train them to become internationally competitive. This is an integral part of the connection. Writing is an essential means of contact between individuals and the community.
