CULTURAL EFFECTS ON LANGUAGE ACQUISITION
Downloads
This article examines the influence of cultural factors on language acquisition. Language learning is not only a linguistic process but also a social and cultural phenomenon. The study analyzes how cultural awareness, cultural identity, communication styles, and intercultural competence affect second language acquisition. A mixed-method approach consisting of a questionnaire and literature analysis was employed. The findings indicate that learners who actively engage with the target culture demonstrate higher motivation, better communicative competence, and greater confidence in language use. The study highlights the importance of integrating cultural content into language teaching programs and emphasizes the role of intercultural communication in improving language acquisition outcomes.
