chonnam.ac.kr>The editors of the Linguistic Association of Korea (LAK) Journal will produce Volume 10, No. 1 in Spring, 2001. It will be specialized for 'English as a lingua franca and English as an official language.' We chose this topic to upgrade the on-going debate on English as an official language in Korea with professional insight. We will be happy to see papers on the valuable experience of the countries which already faced the challenge. We also welcome submission of papers on all topics in the field of theoretical and applied linguistics including language teaching. The language of publication is English.
