Abstract
Culture and language are intricately intertwined in that one influenced the other as they developed, succeeded, interacted, and survived together in a long and unending process of human development. Anent this, the researcher conducted a case study on Christian, a Chinese college student in one of the universities in the Philippines whose family has migrated to the country, and he has been staying here since his kindergarten years. The data gathered through an unstructured interview were analyzed using Fairclough’s critical discourse analysis technique. The analysis revealed that language acquisition of a second language was influenced by the individual’s environment, parental and significant other’s support, and age. Moreover, a language expression shapes one’s mindset and mirrors one’s culture.
