Concept mapping, as a tool for organizing and representing knowledge, has become an effective strategy for teaching science courses due to its ability to facilitate meaningful learning and reduce extraneous cognitive load. This approach is particularly beneficial for students with limited language proficiency. To help students succeed in the English Medium Instruction (EMI), this study integrated concept mapping assignments into the EMI-based General Chemistry course. The effectiveness of this approach was evaluated through statistical analyses student’s academic performance, assessment of concept mapping assignments, and student’s perceptions of their implementation of concept mapping assignments.
