description This article aimed at explaining the realization of actional competence, which focused on language functions in the mood types of casual conversation. This study highlighted seven key areas of language functions proposed by Celce-Murcia et al. (2007), namely interpersonal exchange, information exchange, opinions, feelings, suasion, problems, and future scenarios. This study was descriptive qualitative research, where the participants were four students of a state university in Semarang.

In other words, in this casual conversation among the speakers were trying to exchange information as much as possible.

Therefore, future researchers could investigate more deeply about the grammatical use of the students’ actional competence, especially in terms of language function.
