This paper explores the distinction between intentional and incidental vocabulary learning andanalyses statistically their effects on Saudi ESL learners’ ability to understand, retain and usenew words actively in different situations. Two types of tests such as Standard ConfirmationTest and a Contrastive Extempore Test of intentional & incidental types were given to twentystudents at graduate level at JCC, Jeddah, KAU. Standard confirmation test determined aclose homogeneity of all selected learners. The final test aimed at striking a contrast betweenthe performance levels of both intentional &incidental vocabulary types. The homogenouslearners were divided into two equal groups. Fifty new words were the same for both groupsbut framed in two different styles: intentional and incidental. The statistical data analysedthrough tables and figures demonstrated that incidental type performed significantly betterthan intentional type.
