Fillers are word to help and to fill the silent when the speakers do not know or feel hesitate with what to say next. This study focuses on the use of fillers in Thesis Examination presentation by the eight–semester students, studying in private university in Indonesia. The main purposes of this study were to find out the occurrences of fillers uh and um used by the students in presentations and to find in which position was more dominant used.

While, the data were collected by video-recording of three presentations. The participants were selected purposely based on some criteria. The results of this analysis showed that all of three students used fillers uh and um but in different intensity and position. Student 1 used filled pauses uh and um in front, in the middle, and in the end of the sentence. Student 2 used fillers uh also on each of the positions. While, student 3 used fillers uh on each of the position, and fillers um used in the beginning and in the middle. Based on the findings, each of the student used both fillers uh and um especially in the middle.
