Then I will focus on undergraduate students from Faculty of Economics and Business which study marketing course. Marketing student might need better social communication skill in the future, they will try to improve their communication skill through different way. One of the way spending their time in playing online social game so that they can learn to communicate with global users. This can help my research to collect more accurate data. The total of 200 samples from undergraduate marketing students will select randomly to collect data about my research data.

          Finally, I will set the suitable social networking site which provide various types of social games. Facebook will become my target because it provided different types of social games compare with other social networking sites and it is famous around the world.
