Özet:

 Individuals differ from each other in family, environment, friend environment, etc. Since the elements grow and grow in them, some differences become distinctive in their cultural lives. The interactions that occur as a result of the encounter of two different cultures with each other are examined within the framework of the concept of acculturation. It is a useful concept that deals with the process of adapting to or living in a new nation, both individually and collectively for those who have relocated there. The process of getting used to the new society that individuals have started to live in shows many differences in terms of psychological, behavioral, emotional aspects. Acculturation is considered multifaceted as many sociocultural, political, and economic variables are involved. The acculturation process is studied from two separate perspectives in terms of individuals and societies within the framework of John W. Berrys model within the context of acculturation. The adaptation of individuals and societies to the new culture and identity characteristics of the society and their communication with this society differ. In this context, it focuses on different processes such as integration, separation, assimilation, marginalization, multiculturalism, exclusion, melting pot, and separation. In the study, based on a fictional text, the events in the movie Spanglish, which is the subject of the life of a mother and daughter who immigrated from Mexico to the USA, were examined within the scope of acculturation. The acculturation model proposed by John W. Berry 2001 serves as the studys model, while the purposive sampling technique is used as its method.

 Bireyler birbirlerinden farklı aile, çevre, arkadaş ortamı, vb. unsurların içinde büyüyüp yetiştiği için kültürel yaşamları arasında farklılıklar oluşmaktadır. Farklı iki kültürün birbirleriyle karşılaşması sonucunda ortaya çıkan etkileşimler kültürleşme kavramı çerçevesinde incelenmektedir. Yeni bir ülkeye göçle yerleşen bireylerin çevresine hem kişisel hem de kolektif olarak alışma veya yaşama süreçlerini ele alan önemli bir kavramdır. Bireylerin yaşamaya başladıkları yeni topluma alışma süreci psikolojik, davranışsal ve duygusal açıdan birçok farklılık göstermektedir. Sosyo-kültürel, politik ve ekonomik açıdan birçok değişkenin de sürecin içinde olması nedeniyle kültürleşme çok yönlü bir süreç olarak ele alınmaktadır. John W. Berrynin kültürleşme kapsamında yaptığı model çerçevesinde kültürleşme süreci bireyler ve toplumlar açısından iki farklı yönden incelenmektedir. Kişilerin ve toplumların toplumun yeni kültürüne ve kimlik özelliklerine alışması ve bu toplumla iletişime geçmeleri farklılık göstermektedir. Bu kapsamda bütünleşme, ayrılma, asimilasyon, marjinalleşme, çok kültürlülük, dışlama, eritme potası ve ayırma gibi birbirinden farklı süreçlere odaklanılmaktadır. Çalışmada kurgusal bir metin üzerinden yola çıkılarak, Meksikadan ABDye göç eden bir anne ve kızının hayatının konu edildiği Spanglish filminde yaşananlar kültürleşme kapsamında incelenmiştir. Bu kapsamda sorgulama John W. Berrynin 2001 kültürleşme modeli çerçevesinde amaçlı örneklem tekniğiyle gerçekleştirilmiş, nitel içerik analizi yönteminden yararlanılmıştır.
