总结:The aim of this research was to use graphic organizers as a cognitive strategy to develop English vocabulary. The scientific, descriptive and synthetic-analytical methods were useful to analyze and to describe the results of the research. The instruments used to collect the data were observation sheets, tests, worksheets and questionnaires that were applied to 42 students of first-year of bachillerato B. The results demonstrated that the use of graphic organizers reduced significantly students‟ limitations in five aspects of vocabulary. They were able to apply collocations, cognates and idioms within sentences properly, moreover, they were capable to identify the parts of speech and deriving the meaning of a word by its context. In conclusion, graphic organizers were an effective method to develop new vocabulary, since students could deduct the meaning of a word through its application. This instrument motivated the participation in class and the cognitive development of the students.
