The widespread use of slang in the digital era through social media such as TikTok and Instagram has created a real challenge for the existence of formal Indonesian. This study aims to analyze the impact of the intensity of slang use on students' standard language skills in the academic realm. Using a qualitative descriptive approach with participatory observation techniques in various informal social interactions of students, data were collected through audiovisual documentation and classification of slang terms. The results of the study indicate that the use of slang has reached an automatic stage, triggering uncontrolled code-switching phenomena. It was found that shortening of words (apheresis) and the use of interjections appear reflexively even in formal interactions with educators. These findings indicate that habituation to concise slang language patterns risks eroding students' sensitivity to the syntactic and morphological structures of Indonesian according to the rules of the EYD Edition V. As an implication, strengthening language literacy through the higher education curriculum is needed to maintain the position of Indonesian as a national identity
