The study came out with the following results: Sudanese Secondary school students' vocabulary size word test falls within 1,000 frequency level, indicating that students are unable to gasp an average text. Sudanese Secondary School students who obtained higher marks in 1,000-word level also obtained higher marks in 2,000 –word level and vice versa.

This study aims to investigate the factors that hinder speaking promotion among Sudanese secondary schools students. The problem of this study emerges from the fact that most of those students are unable to speak English fluently. The study is going to reveal the difficulties, and factors that restrict speaking promotion. A descriptive analytical approach is adopted in conducting this study. The population of the study is the English language teachers of secondary schools in the Locality of Bahri (2016). A questionnaire was constructed. The program used for statistical analysis to reach the results is SPSS. The main findings of the study are that teaching speaking doesn’t find sufficient concern. Also the syllabus content doesn’t contain materials that stimulate speaking. Moreover, the absence of language laboratories and insufficient listening affect negatively on the process of speaking. The study recommended some suggestions as more time and concern should be given to speaking skill. Using speaking techniques should promote interaction in classroom. Schools should create periodical oral exams in order to motivate students to deal more seriously with speaking skills
