Vocabulary isone of the most important aspect of a second language. Some scholars claim that the more vocabulary helps students to reach the more success in the target language. For this article, I have chosen vocabulary challenges which students may face into while learning a second language. The main objective of this article is investigating the problems faced by students in learning vocabularyin Uzbekistan. This study stresses the necessity of learning second language vocabulary, encourages students towards learning it, highlights the difficulties encountered by learners.There has been much research on this issue. In this study we will look though some of them. Vocabulary knowledge is a focal part of the language. It is considered as a central means to communicative competence. According to Alqahtani (2015) low vocabulary knowledge causes serious problems to its learners, which will be severe problematic issue for a learning process. Vocabulary plays an important role in teaching and learning a second language, since lexical knowledge is fundamental to get into communication with native and non-native English speakers. As Richard and Renandya (2002) stated that the language of people depends on the vocabulary used or gained. Thus, absence of vocabulary, the learners will lose their motivation to use the language.  \nMain part.  \nLearning vocabulary is essential for acquiring new language. Tozcu and Coady (2004) claimed that rich vocabulary develops the learners’ reading skills, and it is beneficial for reading comprehension. Several years before than Tozcu and Coady, Haynes and Baker (1993) noted that the main obstacle for the second language readers is not a deficiency in reading techniques but lack of vocabulary in English. Similarly, Huckin and Bloch also have found out that second-language readers rely heavily on vocabulary knowledge and that a lack of vocabulary part of the language is the largest problem for L2 learners to suffer. (p. 154) . As Grauberg (1997) noted that students learning the vocabulary get through four stages: discrimination, understanding meaning, remembering, and consolidation and extension of the meanings. Firstly, in the discrimination stage students distinguish the sounds and letters. This stage helps learners in writing, speaking and listening, because by distinguishing sounds, the learners pronounce words in a correct way and understand them when they see in context or listen to. Secondly, in understanding meaning stage applicants catch the meaning of words by relating them to their meanings. Thirdly, the remembering stage composed of the ability to remember the meanings. Finally, the consolidation and extension stage demand students learning new vocabulary and its integration. Oxford (1990) argues that there are not any rules in learning the vocabulary as we have some strict rules in learning the grammar. Students usually come across with hundreds of words that they should learn and practice during their studies. Altyari (2017) believes that the poor linguistic performance of  \nSaudi students in English reflects their lack of knowledge of vocabulary. The researcher identifies two serious facts that lead to poor vocabulary and lexical inadequacy of Saudi students in public secondary schools. 35 participants wi","cbCaiu1nLaIGnHoT","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaiu1nLaIGnHoT","pdf",149782,"English","# Annotation\n# Learning vocabulary and its role\n# Vocabulary acquisition stages\n## Discrimination\n## Understanding meaning\n## Remembering\n## Consolidation and extension\n# Reported learner challenges and contributing factors\n## Pronunciation and spelling\n## Word forms and morphological issues\n## Semantics and phrasal meanings\n## Multiple-meaning words and dictionary support\n# Conclusions and recommended learning process","[{\"question\":\"Why is vocabulary considered essential in second language acquisition?\",\"answer\":\"Vocabulary is treated as a central means for communicative competence.
