Therefore, the lecturer provides them strategies to handle it. Among others is mind mapping which facilitates the students in acquiring the important informations of the textbook effectively. The fact shows that mind mapping has been applied in some schools even in higher level of education which is intended to assist students in reading comprehension. However, there is too little attention in assessing it whereas mind mapping can be another alternative assessment tool for reading comprehension. By doing ongoing assessment, mind mapping can provide the lecturer with the information needed to develop appropriate lessons and improve instruction.
