A Reader for the ASLE Japan-Korea Joint Symposium
The following is an electronic English version of the reader complied by ASLE-Korea and ASLE-Japan for the ASLE Japan-Korea Joint Symposium, which was held from August 19th to the 21st in Kanazawa. The reader was distributed to the symposium participants in advance so that they could prepare themselves for discussions at the symposium. In our desire to have participants engaged as fully as possible, each paper was made available in English, Korean, and Japanese. The following is the English version; papers in Japanese are also available on this website.
