As students who do not use their first language in communicating, both in learning and in social relationships, their ability to speak Indonesian requires to be tested. It is essential in order to ensure the continuity of the learning that will be passed. Consequently, the government owing to the Language Development and Cultivation Agency has established an Indonesian Language Proficiency Test (UKBI [Uji Kemahiran Berbahasa Indonesia]), which is a standardization test for proficiency in the language of Indonesian speakers, both native and foreign speakers. Despite being a tool to measure Indonesian language skills, UKBI also has the prospect to be utilized as a medium to encourage the diversity of Indonesian cultures. This effort is considered important to preserve and maintain the identity of the nation from the world’s point of view, particularly against the speed of globalization. By observing various cultural elements in the three \"reading texts\" at UKBI by way of critical discourse analysis, it can be perceived that the three texts have the opportunity to defend the Indonesian language and culture. Furthermore, due to the test results of 30 foreign students in UKBI in Indonesia, foreign students' understanding and knowledge of the diversity of Indonesian languages and cultures were revealed.  \nKeywords: UKBI; critical discourse analysis; reading; culture; foreign students  \nVol. 5, No. 4, 2021 Wahyuni, Maulina, Mulia, & Sunardi  \nIntroduction  \nAs a country that has seven hundreds of regional languages with various ethnic groups (Bahasa, 2021), Indonesia committed Indonesian as the language of unity on October 28, 1928 (Youth Pledge) . This is reinforced by the presence of Law Number 24 of 2009 concerning the Flag, Language, and National Emblem, as well as the National Anthem of Article 25 paragraph 2 which states that the Indonesian language functions as a national identity, national dignity, a mean of unifying various ethnic groups, as well as a mean of communication among regions and regional cultures.  \nAs a strategic country in various fields (political, economic, social, and cultural fields), it is not remarkable that Indonesia is in demand by other nations, for all parts such as in the political, economic, social, and cultural, and even language fields. Primarily, when Indonesia initiates itself to the implementation of free markets with the hope of increasing the economic growth of the country and society, many foreigners come to this country. The development of the free market affects not only the Indonesian economy, but also the language and culture of the nation through the rapid growth of industrial performers, equally from inside and outside the country. Language as a medium of communication and culture as the identity of a group is likely to be contaminated, especially by performers from outside the local culture.  \nThat is the fact that we often observe nowadays. Indonesian is being stroked by a shift in the roles and functions of the speakers of this language.
