The Standing Committee on Language Education and Research (SCOLAR) is committed to collaborating with various stakeholders and utilising the Language Fund to support initiatives that enhance public proficiency in biliteracy and trilingualism. To celebrate SCOLAR’s 30th anniversary this year and further foster the public’s interest and practical skills in languages, we are pleased to announce the launch of the 2nd issue (30th Anniversary Edition) of our electronic publication, “Language and You”, in July 2026. This special edition invites all of you to reflect on our dedicated journey, celebrate the fruitful achievements of the past three decades, and embark on a new chapter in language education together.
“Language and You” is divided into four sections:
- “Language for You”: Serving as a chronicle of SCOLAR’s mission, reviewing past initiatives and projecting a vision for future language development
- “Impact on You”: Integrating academic research with teaching practice, facilitating continuous development in language education through theoretical exploration and teaching reflection
- “Language around You”: Adopting an investigative lens to illuminate the nuanced and often overlooked linguistic phenomena that permeate our daily life
- “Language from You”: Constituting a dynamic space for participatory engagement, showcasing the applied wisdom and innovative practices in language emanating from our community
