This research aims to describe the forms and the factors of using code switching that using in on Instagram. After doing the analysis researcher consider there are three kinds of form code switching that found on instagram account using by instagram users they are: tag-switching, intersentential code switching, and intrasetential code switching. Then after doing the analysis based on of the types, researcher founds the reasons of using code switching there are four points: changing topic, lack of vocabulary, bilingual/multilingual, Prestige and trend. This research using sociolinguistic study because it’s related to the topic in this research. Then the researcher used qualitative research methods in doing the analysis.

This research investigated the mispronunciation of Putera Batam University EFL learners by adapting the standard of Received Pronunciation (RP) and the factors of English vowels and consonants mispronunciation.

This research was created based on concerning the importance of efficient language use. The language use can be called efficient if the message is clear, unambiguous and can be understood by both speaker and hearer. Cooperative principles proposed by Grice (1975) explained the way people use the language well and efficiently. There are at least four maxims that should be followed in order to have achieve connection during conversation which are 1) maxim of manner, 2) maxim of quantity, 3) maxim of quality, and 4) maxim of manner. In fact, there are several maxim violations happened in human life especially figured in the movie. The maxim violations may cause misunderstanding while the conversation is going on. This paper aims to analyze the maxim violations that exist in the movie titled Night at the Museum 1. It uses descriptive qualitative method with pragmatics identity analysis. The findings show that maxim of manner and quantity are the dominant maxims which are violated.
