Learning brings change in human behavior and plays major role in self-awareness. Majority of the students learn or remember things very slowly due to memory problems. To reduce this issue and speed up the learning of ESL learners, teachers adopt several learning techniques and strategies. A technique that helps the ESL learners to build their memory easily and fastly is through Mind Mapping. As Tony Buzan (2012) stated in his book “The Ultimate Book of Mind Map” about mind map that it works like a contact system, information recovery and data storage device in the mind of students. The main focus of this research is to identify the impact of mind mapping on ESL learners in learning vocabulary at the secondary level in Bahawalpur. It also explores how this tool was used to reduce the issues of ESL learners in learning vocabulary. Mixed research is implemented in which data was gathered quantitatively as well as qualitatively. The design of research was quasi experimental. The population of this study was 50 female ESL Learners and 35 female government teachers. It was done through random sampling. To achieve the objectives, two tools were adopted for this study: (1) pre-test and post-test taken from female ESL Learners and (2) survey questionnaires that were taken from teachers as well as female ESL Learners through random sampling. Feedback from studies show that mind map is a powerful tool which accelerates the learning process and has a positive impact on ESL Learners in learning and constructing vocabulary.
