Abstract : Social Language is the language which is usually used by the students in their daily activities. They could gather any ideas to speak up without having barriers. This study investigated on the use of social language as the bridge to build up a dialogue by using English in the classroom in order to have natural communications. Researchers formulated the research questions; how did the students switch the language from their Social Languages to English? This research used a descriptive qualitative by purposive sampling to get the data analyzed by using checklist instrument to classify them based on the theoretical framework. The result showed that the students switched their social language to English by implementing the basic patterns of sentence structures. This way changed the students’ performance in delivering a dialogue by using English naturally. So, it could be concluded that students’ social language could become a bridge to use English for communication. It’s hopefully beneficial for English Lecturers in teaching English in the classroom referring to English for Specific Purpose.
