الملخص الإنجليزي

This study aims to investigate the problems of vocabulary acquisition and attrition, encountered by third year, secondary school students.

Mainly it seeks to find out the relationship between vocabulary acquisition on the one hand, and its attrition on the other hand. The research also attempts to elicit and assess the major causes of learners' attrition and acquisition problems, with a view to propose some solutions. The research's sample consisted of (400) students from third level, secondary school students for the school year 2009-2010, including the pilot study sample which was (100) students.

This is in addition to (100) teachers of English from Atbara and the surrounding localities. The method followed is the descriptive analytical method.

Two instruments were used to collect data.

An achievement test of (10) questions, including (100) items, and a teachers' questionnaire of (50) questions distributed among (100) teachers of English.

The data has been statistically analyzed by the statistical package for social sciences programme, (SPSS).

The conclusion was reached that there was a rate of vocabulary attrition among students which reaches up to (61%).

The results may be attributed to the following reasons : 1.The four language skills are not sufficiently implemented to support students' vocabulary exposure. 2.The students are not motivated enough to advance their vocabulary repertoire. 3.The syllabus presentation for the newly taught words lacks appropriateness. 4.The role of the English dictionary in enriching the students' vocabulary is almost absent. On the base of the findings, the researcher offered his recommendations and drew his conclusions.
