This article examines the kinds of language problem that occurred in chemistry lectures given by English and American lecturers to Omani students at Sultan Qaboos University, Sultanate of Oman. Language problems in these lectures are seen as almost exclusively vocabulary problems. These problems are classified as: those having to do with the, invisible nature of much of chemistry, those concerning the scientific and everyday use of words, and problems with synonyms used to explain words. All of these are seen as aspects of the core problem: the limited areas of common reference between students and lecturers. It is suggested that the kind of learning of words that occurs in these lectures entails a very limited knowledge of these words.
