Chinese studies has a long and exceptionally rich history on the Korean peninsula, and in recent years has undergone a period of rapid growth, with more than two hundred universities in South Korea now teaching Chinese language and literature programs.
And yet thanks to the fact that the vast majority of research in this country is only ever published in Korean, there has been little opportunity to introduce Korean scholarship to the international academic community.
The Korea Society of Chinese Language and Literature already publishes Chinese and Korean language papers in their regular journal and this will now be joined by an annual English‐language journal which is specifically aimed at enhancing communication between scholars at home and abroad: the Korea Journal of Chinese Language and Literature.
The focus of the Korea Journal of Chinese Language and Literature is threefold. It is intended as a forum to introduce the most advanced research conducted in Korea in the fields of Chinese linguistics, language pedagogy, and Chinese literature to an international English‐speaking academic audience.
At the same time, this journal also accepts articles from scholars based outside Korea, in the hope of enhancing scholarly understanding and collaboration. With this aim in mind, an Advisory Editorial Committee of highly distinguished scholars has been assembled to review the papers submitted.
It is hoped that in the future this journal will make a significant contribution towards the globalization of Korean research in the field of Chinese language and literature.
