human. Processing a language is an essential human trait, which means all normal human speak, and no nonhuman or animal does. Those explanation about language acquisition, shares a light that it is naturally happen for children who have laxity like deafness to acquire their first language through sign language as children who use oral language. Considering the significance role played by language acquisition in a human included deaf-blind children, this study is aimed to come deeper to see what language used by deaf-blind children in the process of acquiring their language and how they acquire their language. In accordance with those reasons, what makes this study was crucial to be completed was that in The Miracle Worker movie, the main character; Helen Keller can represent her sign language well, which is appearing our interest to know and recognize about sign language acquisition in it. This study emphasizes sign language acquisition, particularly in manual sign language which taken from sign language description script of The Miracle Worker movie. In conducting this research, I uses descriptive qualitative method since it analyzes the data in the form of sign language description descriptively. I made myself as the key instrument, he spent a great deal of time to observe and take some documentation by analyzing the script of the movie The Miracle Worker. After analyzing the data I found that the main actor of The Miracle Worker movie, Helen Keller is used American Sign Language which is composed of sign language and Finger- spelling. Whereas, lip movements and facial expressions are rarely used. Furthermore, in a process of acquiring her language, I found that symbolic gesturing facilities (lip movements and facial expression) are the early stages of verbal language development. She cannot purely imitate. She must experiment and wait for approval. It seems there is an internal process in her mind far from imitation. By reviewing this study, it can be concluded that in language acquisition of deaf-blind children, the important thing is exposing them to sign language since their parents are not familiar with sign languages, they may view the auditory/ oral only approach as best way to educate them and help them fit into the ―hearing world‖. The next researcher, especially, should be able to come deeper to see sign languages phenomena that stand behind deaf children in order to reach a perfect comprehension and understanding in sign language acquisition. Finally, this study can be one of a good reference since this study analyzed about sign language acquisition in an appropriate movie which can represent a real condition of deaf-blind children in acquiring sign language.
