Forgetting happens all the time. It happens to children, young people, even old people. For the first time, people seem to remember things but then suuucnly they have difficulty to share and to recall what they remember. No people can escape Ii'om this. The writer is very interested ill investigating how this happells to language learners. Using the same story "The War of the Ghost", the writer conducted a research for three months. Four respondents were asked to reproduce the story four times both orally and in written form. The respondents did the retelling during a three~motHh course given by the writer. Then the writer classified and analyzed the data bascd on the type of information in the schema theory by Bartlett. During the course, the respondents' attitudes were observed. The results show that each respondents diu a lot of omission. The next type or infonnation commonly found is dominant theme. Only a few transformations of infonnation occured in the reproductions. The most common type of infonnatioll missing is rationalization and the next one is transfonnation of sequence. The writer found that not all of the type of infonnation appeared in respondents' reproductions.
