Abstract:
The aim of the current thesis is for students to learn to know the L1 and TL culture through a qualitative interpretive method. This study tries to discover how culture influences multilingualism and its roles, the definitions assigned to each one, and the impact of studying languages on multilingual identification using a variety of data collection methods like in-depth interviews, casual analyses, records, participant checks, and peer debriefings. Some SLA students claim that there are significant holes in theory about the relationship between the human language learner and his or her social surroundings. Conventional SLA theories have given little attention and have not sufficiently discussed some language learning interactions, as well as inequitable power ties between language learners and native speakers. The results of this study indicate the need for educational services that promote and provide the foundation for additive bilingualism.
