Chiyuki Yanase

On Saturday, July 27th, 6:00pm-7:30pm, our guest presenter Chiyuki Yanase will lead a workshop on how we as educators can take steps to look after the wellbeing of ourselves and our students. Given the stresses on everyone during and after COVID, this should be a very useful workshop!

In this workshop, Chiyuki will share and discuss mastery-goal-oriented activities suitable for learners of various ages, as well as sensory and mindful practices for teachers. The first part of the workshop will focus on learner wellbeing, with participants experiencing activities including mindful practices based on yoga for young learners and research-based mindful practices for secondary, as well as university students. The second part of the workshop will introduce emotion-focused coping strategies and activities designed to support teachers in enhancing their resilience to cope with potential drawbacks.

Chiyuki Yanase is a lecturer at several universities in Tokyo. She holds an MSc in TESOL from Aston University and has over 30 years of experience teaching English at various institutions. She has presented at numerous international conferences and published several articles on team-teaching, literacy development, and collaborative learning. Her current research interests focus on teacher and learner wellbeing, and she continues to explore the science of happiness.
