Language acquisition is told in psycholinguistic theories. The theories are used to develop
language teaching method called psycholinguistic Approach. There are several methods
available such as : natural method, TPR, Sugestopedia, etc. By using these methods, it helps us
to know how people acquire first or second language, how they perceive and produce it.
After doing this research, the researchers have found that the down syndrom children are able
to master the first language or their mother tongue language but they face difficulty to master
the second language ( Bahasa Indonesia ). In the first language acquistion, the down syndrom
children show a unique thing, for example when they want to say the object, they use
onomatophoeic sound. "Eong" to call the cat. The beginning of consonats and vowels were
eleminated. They also didn't speak the prefix, repetition, and compound words. The down
syndrom children often imitate others, replay their own sounds, and has phonological troubles.

Acquistion and learning are different. Acquistion happened in natural way, while learning
happened in formal way. Example of acquistion is the people from Indonesia work in America,
when they interact with native speaker it makes them require the language while learning is
when we learn a language in class.
The studies have found that adult learner learn faster than younger learner but this younger
one will have more higher level of Proviciency.
The errors in learning second language is not caused by their first language, but it's caused by
overgeneralization, rule simplication, and strategies they use

Students must increase their vocabulary until 1000 words and are able to understand the
function and the use of the words.
They must develelop their vocabulary until 3000 words and are able to produce simple
sentences.
They must develop their vocabulary until 6000 words and are able to deliver more complex
sentences and their own opinion.
They can speak English with good grammar and vocabulary and can be compared to native in
the same age.

- condition 1
The children who learn second language have more opportunity deliver the language like native
in pronounciation
- condition 2
The children are better in second language communication on informal situation
- condition 3
The better learner can differentiate the sounds of it's language, the better they have knowledge
about the language
- condition 4
The better they long and strong memory of learners, the better they can get vocabularies
easier.
- condition 5
The better they know the role of grammar mostly, the better they can develop control of
grammatical structure.
- condition 6
The better learners realize their goal of learning the second language, the better they will find
the suitable strategies for learning.
Based on this research, it shows that there is relationship between language and culture.
Language is a part of culture, when we learn a language we also need to learn the culture of
language it self. Because language also the symbolic of the community which differentiate them
from others.
There are several points based on Sapir-Whorf hyphothesis which support this argument :
1. We use Language to express our means to community, by this we learn chatacteristic and
literary words encode in language itself.
2. We use this chatacteristic and literary words are different with others culture.
3. Each of the places have different language, if they communicate each other by using their
own language it will make misunderstanding, so learning the nation language is important.
4. If we want to understand the specific words and literary words, we need to also understand
the culture where the language take place.

Based on this research, it's stated that language and culture are closely related each other.
There are some points to prove it :
2. Unfortunatelly, another study shoes the social strructure or worldview can be affected by
linguistic structure.
3. The language changing ( language re-form ) follows up the social development time by time.
4. But there is another research shown that there is no relationship between linguisyic
structure and social structure.
9. The effect of language change on cultural caused by producing knowledge and technology
Language is one of the instruments that was changed by political and cultural evolution and
revolutionized during human history. However, every nation and government strives to protect
their local culture and language from this change. Language evolution is inevitable. Language
can influence the detection of cultural identity. This is due to the diversity of words in the
language structure due to the expansion in spoken language which is influenced by the totality
of history and culture of a nation. The main reasons for the evolution of this language occur
because of the entry of industrial and cultural phenomena, political, economic and cultural
relations, as well as the arrival of those who study abroad, geographical factors (bordering each
other), and military conflicts.
Language change is not always from extrinsic factors but also language has natural movements
and changes according to the needs of society. This evolution is too slow and gradual. But the
main reason for the inclusion of foreign terms which is one of the important factors of language
change is due to technological advances in the world which are producing countless scientific
and technical instruments at high speed. When these instruments and tools entered other
countries, they also entered their commercial name and were known by this name. Sometimes
in the translation of scientific books, translators cannot find suitable equivalents and synonyms
due to the large number of technical terms and a lack of time, so they enter the original terms
and use them in their translations.

Language acquisition refers to the development of a second language for children. It is very
important for children to take a moment to learn language learning. There are many differences
between the learning and acquisition process. For example, the term that is usually used to first
separate language as the acquisition of a second language as learning. According to Oxford
(2001: 214), language sets are "devices that come to mind effectively children on which their
mother's grammar is based." Oxford (2001: 358) states that a second language is "a language
that is not native to a community. but has a given role, for a specific purpose or at a certain
social level in it "
An important factor in language acquisition refers to the study of how children learn in a
language other than their first language.Other factors are also important, such as teacher
competence and mother tongue. Teachers are also expected to teach structurally and
grammatically, and must be able to create a learner center instruction. Furthermore, parents
are also part of modifying their children's words when they are children. It certainly helps
children when parents speak to children well.
- from this article the research shown is almost in one way. But only one has opposite, it's about
social structure influences language structure. One said that It doesn't relate each other, but
one said that It has relation each other. In my own opinion, I agree with the statement which
say that social structure and language structure influance each other since language is a
product of culture. So it can not be separated.
