Gender differences in language present one aspect of the wide linguistic variations that exist in society, which indicate gaps in status and power. In practice, women and men tend to develop different patterns in language use. However, the women and men language variations are not wholly distinct, but they share the same shape in varying amounts and frequencies. This research aims to analyze the way women and men use the conversational strategies aspect by Jennifer Coates (2016) to obtain their goals and objectives in communication. The writer used the Misbehavior movie as the object of analysis. Further, it explores how the gender dynamic and power relation occurred in the film. This research uses descriptive qualitative methods to obtain the data. After analyzing the data, the writer found 102 features of conversational strategies used by women and 97 features of conversational strategies used by men. It is found that the most dominant feature female characters use is questions and for male characters is commands and directives. This differences reveals that women use the features of conversational strategy to show support to the interlocutor and to express admiration. Whereas, men use this strategy to assert dominance and to establish status.
