English is a popular language currently,  it is being taught according to the needs of students. . This situation has contributed to the development of English for Specific Purposes (ESP) (Hutchinson & Waters, 1987). Due to the fact that ESP students have underlying conference repertoire, their language skills are affected by them. Among these skills, writing is considered difficult to get success due to the difficulties faced especially by the EFL students in ESP class. This research is formulated to investigate how mind mapping can enhance students’ writing performance in ESP class. This research implements Collaborative Action Research (CAR).
