How does culture, bilingual language development affect children’s speech and language development?

Culture and bilingual language development affect children's speech and language development by shaping the children's experiences and becoming a means or a guiding principle for them to adapt to the society.

Explanation:

Children naturally acquire language skills according to their experience and the environment they grew up. These experiences are shaped by culture and bilingual language development. For example, when it comes to culture, one society may teach the child to use more words in expressing himself, while another society will teach the child to express non-verbally. Every society has a different culture when it comes to speech and language development.

When it comes to bilingual language development, the parents may train the child to speak their native language at home but allow her to go to school where the child can speak another language (such as English). This affects the speech and language development of the child in a way that he will be more inclined to learn the two languages. Thus, he'd be able to learn more words or vocabularies and the like.
