Knowledge Mapping Applied to the Construction of a Theoretical Resource Base for Teaching English at the University Level

In the evolving field of educational technology, knowledge mapping has emerged as a pivotal tool for university English education. This study examines its role in building a theoretical resource base to enhance the efficiency of organizing, accessing, and utilizing teaching materials. This research constructs a knowledge graph for English teaching resources by employing a seven-step process to create a domain ontology and an enhanced TF-IDF algorithm for keyword extraction. Results show the knowledge graph significantly boosts information retrieval accuracy and user satisfaction. The experimental group reported a 25% increase in learning efficiency, a 30% enhancement in the quality of learning outcomes, and a 12.63% rise in average grades, outperforming the control group. The findings suggest knowledge mapping substantially benefits the development of a theoretical resource base for university English teaching, improving teaching and learning quality.
