Language exposure, cultural identity, and social interactions all contribute to shaping speech perception abilities among multilingual speakers. Considering socio-cultural context is crucial in understanding these phenomena, as cultural norms and values influence auditory processing mechanisms. Unique Contribution to Theory, Practice and Policy: Social identity theory, acculturation theory & communication accommodation theory may be used to anchor future studies on analyze the effect of cultural factors on speech perception in multilingual contexts in United Kingdom. Develop culturally responsive language education programs that recognize and celebrate linguistic diversity.
