Learning a language is an interesting topic to be discussed between linguists. Its existence as a means of communication makes language play an important role in people’s lives. Universal grammar, cultural context and English as a global language are some of the topics that have been researched. Universal grammar (UG) is a principle of language applied in communication. Then, there is a tendency that language shares similarities with culture. It means that when people learn a language, inevitably they also learn about its culture. How a person expresses something to others is an example that shows language is interrelated with culture. The existence of a language also has a relationship to the power of ideology that a language has. How much power a language has will determine how many people use the language. As English is a very powerful language, English is spoken in many countries and there has been a need for people to communicate with other nations.
