Sociolinguistics and anthropology strongly holds that the development of a second language is inseparable from its socio-cultural context “second language learning is often a second cultural learning”. This study looks at the concept of culture, language as culture, the relationship between language and language as a tool for cultural transition. Second language teachers should identify them cultural items in every aspect of the language that they teach. Cultural issues should be made an inherent part of the curriculum because culture is the foundation of language development and Teachers should know the background knowledge of the culture of the language they teach.
Key words: Language, Culture and Transition.
