KEYNOTE SPEAKER
Dr. Merissa Braza Ocampo Ph.D., Fukushima Gakuin University, Fukushima City, Japan
Topic: Self-Care Management of Japanese Students During Covid-19 To Enhance Subjective Wellbeing
Currently, as a full-time lecturer at Fukushima Gakuin University, Japan. Dr. Merissa Ocampo’s interdisciplinary work combines linguistics and mental health, looking particularly at the impact of Anxiety, Burnout, and Stress (ABS) on learners and teachers of English as a Foreign Language. Recently, she is focusing on the effectiveness of positive psychology and mindful self-compassion to cope up with ABS among teachers. Ocampo wrote her Ph.D. dissertation on mother and child nutrition and health status. Having direct personal experience guiding family members through the Japanese education system to the tertiary level, her current research explores the Family Environment Mode Approach (FEMA) in language teaching. A naturalized Japanese, Ocampo is also able to draw upon her knowledge of both Japanese and Filipino language and culture to support an intercultural perspective in her work. She is currently developing FEMA more extensively and coordinating a Positive Psychology Intervention-related modular Storybook project for teaching learners from young to adult, nutrition, and health concepts in English. Moreover, teaching language with Positive Psychology Intervention is another topic she is doing. She believes that the power of gratitude, kindness, and self-compassion could enhance students’ and teachers’ well-being.
