在日語會話教育的初期階段，多是先累積語彙和句型的練習然後逐步進展至「模式」練習。但是當學習者進入中級或是高級階段，想要表達比較精確的複雜感覺時，以固定句式為主的「會話模式」將不敷使用。若要讓會話自由地發展，首要掌握自己的感覺。本研究要報告以「被男/女朋友甩了」為題，如何利用TAE手法來導引出初中級程度的學習者的「複雜的感覺」，在語彙受限的情形下如何表達「複雜的感覺」。TAE（Thinking at the Edge）是哲學家‧臨床心理學家尤金‧簡德林博士所開發的方法。TAE的中心概念是將注意力放在自己的身體感覺，然後逐步語言化。筆者將此概念帶入中級日語會話的課程中，觀察學習者如何在有限的語彙下找到自己複雜的感覺並將其日語化。結果顯示，比較實施TAE前後的內容，實施後產出較多根據自身感覺的具體內容。此外，也顯示了TAE應用於中級日語會話課程的可行性。

In the beginning stage of Japanese language learning, students primarily practice vocabulary and sentence patterns on a cumulative basis before learning progresses to a ”conversation model.” However, as learning progresses to an intermediate or advanced level, the more learners want to express their complex feelings, the more they will feel the limitations of a ”conversation model”. To be able to expand and engage in conversation freely, it is important to have a grasp of one's feelings first. This study reports the result of applying TAE theory to conversation class and explores how to draw out complex feelings from learners and how to use limited vocabularies to express the feeling of ”when he/she dumped me”.TAE theory was developed by philosopher and psychologist Dr. Eugene T. Gendlin. TAE theory is based on focusing on one's bodily sense and then verbalizing it. This study introduces the concept of TAE to an intermediate Japanese conversation class and observes how learners grasp their complex feelings and learn to verbalize them into Japanese while possessing only a limited Japanese vocabulary.By comparing the situation before and after applying TAE theory, the conversations which TAE theory enables in accordance with bodily feeling were observed. The results of this study suggest that applying TAE theory at the intermediate level of Japanese conversation class is both possible and effective.
