<![CDATA[This study aims to provide a comprehensive portrayal of Indonesian language utilization among factory workers in Pekalongan Regency. Employing a descriptive qualitative approach, the research investigates the factors influencing language preference and usage within this community. Data collection methods include documentation, questionnaires, and interviews, with analysis conducted through proficient engagement listening techniques. The findings reveal a nuanced interplay of factors shaping language behavior among factory workers.
