This research aims to find out (1) how standard language is used among students, (2) what is the frequency of use of standard language within students, (3) what causes students to find it difficult to use standard language, and (4) what language is used more often by students. students in communicating other than standard language. The results of this research were that 8 people used standard language more often, 7 people used regional language more often and 12 people used slang more often.
