The study specifically tried to check the effectiveness of mind mapping on adjective-preposition and verb-noun combination collocations. A sample of 110 grade 12 students who were learning in two sections at Majete General Secondary School, North Shoa Zone, Ethiopia, participated in the study. One of the two sections was randomly assigned to an experimental group, while the other one was labeled as a control group. A pre-test and two post-tests were used as data-gathering instruments. The data were analyzed by using mean scores, paired samples, and independent sample t-tests. The results revealed that although the two sections had no significant difference in their pre-test results, in the immediate and delayed post-tests, the score of adjective-preposition & verb-noun collocations of the experimental group students was significantly higher than the score of the control group students who learnt those collocations without mind map. Based on this, it could be concluded that using mind map was an effective strategy to improve EFL high-school students’ collocations learning. Accordingly, it is recommended that EFL teachers and students should use mind-map during their collocations lessons.  \nKeywords: adjective-preposition collocations, collocations, mind map, verb-noun collocations, picturesque diagram  \nINTRODUCTION  \nEfforts have been made by linguists to define the word language, and their definitions extend from political to social and from educational to cultural views. Santana (2016) noted that even though linguists disagree upon the meanings of language, they are on the same page that it is one of the endowments that human beings have or the exchange and expressions of thoughts by single organizing words. Moreover, words can be organized in order to be formulaic expressions, and one of the kinds of formulaic expressions is collocations.  \nAs Rao (2018) stated, collocations are one of the most important knowledges of language learning, and they are massively crucial for non-native English language learners for their fluency. Moreover, collocations have the relevance of avoiding the description of ideas and discussing issues in longer and wordier ways (Ghazali, 2006) .  \nContemporarily, applied linguists and researchers have always been trying to not only emphasize the importance of vocabulary, including collocation learning, but also propose better strategies for efficient learning of new vocabulary items. As stated in Pinkosky (2015) Cornell notes, active vocabulary skits, foldable pieces of paper vocabulary taboos, vocabulary cubes, paint chip vocabulary cards, word splash, concept building, and vocabulary notebooks are suggested as the techniques that can be employed while teaching students vocabularies. Furthermore, Gairns & Redman (1998) classified techniques of vocabulary presentations into three broad categories, which are visual, verbal,  \nCitation: Nigus, A., & Berta, G. (2024) .
