This study reports the feedback of learners who attended Chen’s (2012) practical activity in “Intermediate Japanese Conversation Class.” The practical activity consisted of applying TAE theory on sophomores in order to draw out their complex feelings through and beyond their limited vocabularies. A questionnaire survey was conducted by investigating learners’ adaptation and impression; the results were analyzed by KJ method. As a consequence, output by using TAE received a high evaluation from most of the learners; however, there was some feedback reflecting a slight bewilderment regarding whether or not TAE could be used in a real situation. This peculiar response is likely due to the difficulty learners faced in grasping their own feelings, as well as their unfamiliarity with TAE. In conclusion, it can be deduced that for continuing this activity in the future, there should be more improvement in activities design, such as increased guidance for learners to adapt to the steps, increased guidance regarding the purpose of this activity, and increased guidance/support in helping learners master the technique of grasping their own feelings.
