Lev Tolstoy Tula State Pedagogical University [vishnyalis@yandex.ru](vishnyalis@yandex.ru) Abstract: Structuring information is important when learning vocabulary in a foreign language. Using mind maps will help students navigate new vocabulary more easily. Online mind map platforms can make this task easier. Keywords: online service, education, mind maps, students, online platforms, foreign language. Using mind maps is an effective way of working with vocabulary in English lessons, as they provide good systematization of the material. Mind maps are the development of a famous scientist, lecturer and consultant on issues of psychology of learning and problems of thinking T. Buzan. It was he who spread the idea of using mind maps as an effective way of working with information [1] . In the process of studying foreign language vocabulary, it is recommended to use various methods of working with mind maps. This can be a joint creation of maps in the lesson together with the teacher, pair or group work, individual compilation, as well as independent development of maps at home with subsequent checking by the teacher. In teaching a foreign language, mind maps can be used for a variety of purposes: for visual representation of complex lexical material, for drawing up retelling plans, for organizing brainstorming in the lesson, as a support for conducting discussions, asa support for oral monologue or dialogic statements. However, the most effective way to use mind maps is to introduce new lexical units, practice lexical material, primary consolidation, and repetition. It is possible to use mind maps to control foreign language vocabulary [3] . This tool can be used both for homework and for preparing for tests. When students use a mind map, they become more confident when working with new lexical material, as they allow them to better structure and contribute to better memorization of vocabulary that may seem too difficult if the teacher uses a traditional approach to building a lesson. Mind maps also allow for better development of critical thinking, helping students find non-standard approaches to solving certain educational problems. Visually presented lexical units significantly faci
