The research findings show that there are 7 types of speech disfluency made by EFL students of UIN Salatiga in various settings, namely filler, silent pause, repetition, prolongation, false start, grammatical error, and correction. The frequencies of speech disfluency are fillers 339 (47,70%), silent pause 76 (10,70%), repetition 69 (9,70%), prolongation 37 (5,20%), false start 24 (3,30%), grammatical error 136 (19,10%), and correction 29 (4%). The most dominant type of speech disfluency is fillers, with a total of 339 times (47,70%). Two factors contribute to speech disfluency, namely the cognitive factor and the psychological factor.
