The ability to write official letters among seventh-grade students is often still low due to the weak idea-organizing strategies at the pre-writing stage. This study aims to describe the implementation of the mind mapping method and measure the improvement in official letter writing skills of seventh-grade students at SMP Negeri 23 Malang through a Classroom Action Research (CAR) approach. The study was conducted in two cycles involving 30 students as subjects. Data were collected through writing tests and non-test techniques including observation and documentation. The findings show that the consistent and structured application of mind mapping improved students' official letter writing skills across all assessed aspects, including the completeness of letter components, language and spelling accuracy, clarity of content and purpose, and format compliance. The percentage of students achieving the minimum passing score increased from 46.7% in the pre-cycle to 76.7% in Cycle I, and reached 96.7% in Cycle II. Mind mapping proved effective in helping students visually map the components of an official letter before writing, resulting in more complete, structured, and rule-compliant texts. Therefore, the mind mapping method is recommended as a writing instructional strategy for formal functional texts at the junior high school level.
