How necessary to learning a language is the learner's cultural integration? 

Cultural integration is vital to language learners in order to ... 

1) ... acquire the language while immersing themselves into the whole cul-

ture of the language, and to identify themselves with and become part of that socie-

ty; 

2) ... acquire the language to serve some utilitarian purpose, such as securing 

a job, or a place at a university. Language learners are neither concerned with the 

culture, nor interested in developing any feeling of affinity with the native speakers 

of that languages.
