The participants were 48 second-year students in Career English for International Communication (CEIC) major at a leading university in Thailand. A questionnaire and interviews were used as the instruments of the study. The researcher analyzed the data by using percentage, mean score, and standard deviation. The results indicated that Thai adult EFL students had a higher mean score use of affective strategies to reduce anxiety in giving oral presentations in English.
