This report is on the use of language choice in the community of Islamic boarding school. The language variety that appears in certain community is shows that language choice is influenced by the social context social community, genre, and politeness. This paper is going to discuss about the result of an observation of an incidental events which show the use of language choice in the community, and also language context. I am interested in this topic because it is useful and one of the unique topic to be discussed. When some people in the community want to use the language choice, it is very important to have the ability when they want to choose the suitable words and expression in their language choice, because sometimes the cultural differences may create misunderstanding and it can make the communication between the members of community breakdown.
