Enculturation

Enculturation is a gradual process by which individuals learn how to adapt to the norms within a society. Social norms stand as principles that are understood by aggregate individuals to manage their behaviours; therefore, culture is a set of accepted behaviours (Cachon, 2017).

people (461 million) as in Latin America, on a landmass about one-fifteenth as large (~3 million km2) (Hesser 77, India.gov, World Bank Group). The Indian citizenry was reluctant to adopt his scheme of crop management due to xenophobia and deep enculturation into traditional lifeways. To counter this resistance, Borlaug came up with the “Kick-Off Approach” (KOA), a tripartite program which manipulated three factors of diffusion: technical, psychological, and economic.

Critical Review The world population has grown and diversified causing a great impact on economic and social life. This growth has influence language specialists and teachers of ELT to have a different perspective on language learning and language use.
