One of the most important goals of today's educational programs is the effective transfer of knowledge to students. In addition to teaching materials, the methods used are also effective in transferring knowledge and developing students' cognitive abilities. The use of contemporary learning methods is crucial in conveying targeted knowledge to students. In this context, language education has become a key objective of curricula, from preschool to higher education. While language learning is haphazard and unplanned in preschool, it is now systematically and systematically delivered to students starting in primary school. Achieving language learning at the targeted level undoubtedly depends on the effectiveness of the teaching methods used. Recently, concept maps, a modern learning method that presents the relationships between concepts through graphics and other visuals, have become an effective method for developing language skills such as listening, reading, speaking, and writing in students of all levels. Their implementation in educational practices has been recommended in prepared curriculums. Concept maps are concrete graphics that illustrate the relationship between a single concept and other concepts within the same category. Furthermore, concept maps are an effective method used to enhance students' conceptual understanding, particularly in developing conceptual understanding. In other words, a concept map is a two-dimensional diagram that shows the interrelationships of concepts under a broader heading. In language education, instructional materials and techniques are an important element of the learning-teaching process. The primary goal in the learning-teaching process is to make learning easier and increase learning efficiency by addressing the subject more concretely, more closely, and more familiarly. Teaching materials most often serve this purpose in the learning-teaching process. Concept maps are a frequently used teaching material in education. In this context, this study aims to emphasize the role and importance of concept maps in language education, which allow students to identify relationships between concepts and to present this information in various forms, such as graphics. This study, conducted using the field literature method, reviewed the relevant literature and presented theoretical information about concept maps used in language education.
