Introduction

Many people speak many languages, one of them is English. People have to master English as one of the important foreign languages in Indonesia. Wardhaugh (1986:00) states “people who use language have to choose a particular language for interacting from one to another and they may decide to switch from one to another code or to mix code.”.
