Abstract：

The language situation in Hong Kong is knowingly complex. Language policy has always been an unresolved thorny issue. In this paper I will first provide an overview of Hong Kong's language policy in the pre-handover period. Then I will examine the language policy since the handover in 1997. I will also look at the impact of the latest language policy on language education and language use in Hong Kong. The newly published language education review report entitled 'Action plan to raise language standards in Hong Kong' (SCOLAR, 2003) will be reviewed.
