This study aimed to examine factors contributing to attrition in ESL among learners in Namibia. This study used the convergent parallel mixed methods. There were 50 participants randomly selected to participate in this research. The data was analyzed and merged to validate the findings. The findings indicated that most of the teachers have agreed that their learners do not use ESL often, lack motivation, and have an undesirable attitude towards learning ESL. There was no clear indication of whether age factors affect young learners from losing ESL. The study suggests further studies to validate the findings. The findings of this study is expected to assist curriculum designers in Namibia and other neighbouring countries.
