This paper seeks to demonstrate the systemic functional approach especially mood and modality analysis in applied linguistics research, via a case study of the representation of arguments in Indonesian senior high school English debating. The paper will centre around the students’ English proficiency in debating, which will then be related to mood and modality system looked at in this study. The background and the related literature of the study is first discussed, which is followed by an account of the methodology. The paper will then delineate the results, showing that the arguments in debating are represented through the extensive use of the declarative mood, median probability, extension conjunction, questions and commands in declarative, explicitly subjective modality, and realization of metaphorical explicit subjective modality.
