Among advanced Japanese learners, even those who have passed the highest level (Level 1) of the Japanese Language Proficiency Test (JLPT) and understood the meaning of all the vocabulary found in it, it is rare for them to use this vocabulary in their conversations and compositions. This means that there is not an automatic transition from understanding what a word means to producing that vocabulary on their own. Therefore, we designed a task to help advanced students search for such words on their mental lexicon more naturally. In this task, the teacher chose a scene from a drama for the students to watch, and they were then asked to describe the situation and feelings of the character in the scene. This allowed the teacher to give the students a chance to "push" the use of their vocabulary.
