Some students said that the difficult part to write is to generate ideas. They admitted that their ideas were out of focus. They could not generate and develop the ideas. To solve it, teachers surely require various teaching techniques that help students to generate ideas in writing. One of the technique is mind mapping. Based on this mentioned reasons, this study is aimed to investigate the differences between teaching writing that does not use mind mapping and the one that uses it in term of ideas.This study employed qualitative method. The data sources of this study were first grade students in one of departement in university at Bandung. The collected data were obtained by writing tests. The result of writing tests was scored by using a rubric. Based on the analysis result, it was found that there were the differences in the writing that did not use mind mapping and the one that used it in term of ideas. The writing that used mind mapping tended to be more focus. Besides, it also had deepen explanation of the topic as well as clear main idea and supporting ideas. From this finding, it can be inffered that mind mapping do really help students to generate ideas in writing. Therefore, teachers can use this technique to teach writing in the classroom.  \nKeywords: writing, mind mapping, main idea  \nIntroduction  \nAs a foreign language, English is one of the most important subjects in Indonesia. It is taught and learned as the compulsory subject in junior, senior, and university level. Moreover, there are many kindergarten school that put English asthe material given for the students. At this point, its purpose is not only for encouraging students to be able to communicate with this international language, but also develop students’ language skill. As stated by Zahrah in Cahyono (33: 2009), the aims of learning and teaching English is to develop students’ capability in four language skills, which are speaking, listening, reading, and writing.  \nRegrettably, among those fours skill, writing is considered as the hardest skill to be learned. This is supported by Alwasilah (2001: 24) who says that writing is perceived as the most difficult skill to acquire by students and teach by the teachers. This difficulty might be caused by the complicated process of writing itself, in which the writers have to focus not only on grammar, vocabulary and mechanism, but also how the ideas expressed and developed. Based on  \nstudents’ discussion, many of them said that the difficult part to write was to generate the ideas. They admitted that their ideas sometimes were out of focus. They could not elaborate and generate the ideas form a particular to be written. Thus, they failed to construct a good writing either in term of fluency or coherent. This fact is in accordance with Nunan statement (cited by Fitriah in Cahyono, 2009: 66),“In term of skill, producing a coherent, fluent, and extended piece of writing is probably the most difficult things to do in language learning.”  \nTo solve this problem, teachers surely require various teaching techniques that help students to generate their ideas in writing. Mind mapping might be oneof the solutions for it. Mind mapping is developed by Tony Buzan. It is simply a diagram used to represent words, ideas, or other items linked to and arranged in a free fashion around a central key words or ideas (in Cahyono, 2009:86) . It usage can help the students to associate ideas, think creatively, and make connection that might not otherwise make (Buzan, 2010) . Alamsyah (2009) even explains that mind mapping works well as their visual design enables students to see the relationship between ideas, and encourgae them to group certain ideas together astheyr proceed.
