Abstract

The objectives of this study were to study English communication strategies (ECS) and self-efficacy of participants in the Salad Bowl game. The subjects of this study were all participants (174) registered at international conferences. We used two instruments: (1) questionnaires asking ECS and self-efficacy and (2) the Salad Bowl game for experiment. Descriptive statistics, t-test, and Pearson correlation were used for data analysis. Players rated their ECS and self-efficacy at the high level after playing the game. ECS significantly and positively correlated with self-efficacy.
