The Journal of Language and Culture (JLC) is excited to announce a new streamlined approach to manuscript submissions.
The Journal of Language and Culture, a biannual publication in the fields of Humanities and Social Sciences, is issued in June and December by the Research Institute for Languages and Cultures of Asia at Mahidol University. Established in 1981, the journal serves as a platform for disseminating scholarly works on language and culture, with a focus on contributing to national development and fostering international collaboration. Additionally, it aims to champion the preservation, development, and revitalization of language and culture.
This journal invites submissions in various sub-fields, including linguistics, cultural studies, anthropology, community development, and language for communication, translation, and teaching. It particularly encourages theoretically focused analyses, applied research, and papers that present synthesized research conducted in the Asian region.
For consideration, only original manuscripts will be reviewed, provided they have not been submitted or published elsewhere. Each manuscript undergoes a rigorous review process by three academic experts in the relevant field. Acceptance is contingent upon the approval of three referees. The Editorial Board retains the right to reject any material deemed inappropriate, make minor changes for presentation and format purposes, and assumes no responsibility for the accuracy of the content.
Articles will be published in the order determined by the Editorial Board for each issue. It is important to note that any article featured in the Journal of Language and Culture represents the academic perspectives of the author(s) and should not be construed as reflective of the Editorial Board's opinions.

Editorial Note
The Journal of Language and Culture, Vol.43 No.2 (2024), adopts the theme of "Intercultural Communication," presenting diverse and thought-provoking research articles that explore the multifaceted relationship between language, culture, and communication in a globalized world. This volume comprises eight scholarly articles, each contributing unique insights into the complexities of intercultural interactions, language education, and cultural dynamics across various contexts.
Among the articles, topics include the integration of cultural content in English language education, the intersection of gender bias in translation practices, and the role of teacher and gender identities in shaping pedagogical effectiveness. These studies highlight the growing importance of fostering cultural awareness and inclusivity in education and communication.
In addition to the research articles, this issue features a review of the book Language, Culture, and Society: An Introduction to Linguistic Anthropology (7th Edition) by James Stanlaw, Nobuko Adachi, and Zdenek Salzmann. The book offers a comprehensive introduction to linguistic anthropology, bridging concepts of language, culture, and society while addressing contemporary issues such as digital communication and globalization. The review emphasizes its value as a foundational resource for students and professionals alike.
The editorial team extends its deepest gratitude to the authors, reviewers, and production staff for their dedicated contributions to this volume. Their efforts ensure that the journal continues to serve as a premier platform for the dissemination of high-quality research on language and culture.
We invite our readers to explore the articles and book review in this volume, which collectively aim to inspire further research and dialogue in the field of intercultural communication.
