As a knowledge visualization learning tool, mind map could help students construct knowledge framework, sort out knowledge structure, expand thinking and enhance memory. This article will take the grade three class of Shijiao Qixing Primary School in Shijiao Country, Qingyuan City as a sample. The Shijiao Qixing Primary School is a village primary school which most of the students are left-behind children and there are about 30 teachers with an age of 40. Neither the teachers nor the students have experienced the mind mapping teaching method. The article will explore the application of mind mapping in a countryside primary school based on relevant theoretical knowledge and classroom practice.

Curriculum ideological and political education is the concretization of cultivating morality and cultivating people. Integrating curriculum ideological and political education into college English teaching is an inevitable trend, and it is of great significance in helping college students establish correct ideological concepts and improve their personality. However, due to the current lack of awareness among college students about the integration of ideological and political education into college English teaching, it is necessary for teachers to fully explore the ideological and political elements in college English, continuously optimize English teaching models, and promote the comprehensive development of college students. Based on this, this article conducts research and analysis on college students' awareness of integrating ideological and political education into college English teaching, in order to provide valuable reference opinions for educators and cultivate more and more outstanding talents for society.
