Twice a year, in the May and December issues, RTE publishes a selected
bibliography Of recent research in the teaching of English. Most of t
he studies listed appeared during the six-month period preceding the c
omplication of the bibliography (January through lune, 1997, for the p
resent bibliography), but some studies that appeared earlier are occas
ionally included. The listing is selective; it makes no attempt to inc
lude all research and research-related studies that appeared in the pe
riod under review. Comments on the bibliography and suggestions about
items for inclusion may be directed to the bibliography editors. We en
courage you to send your suggestions to brownd@oak.cats.ohiou.edu or m
whiting@ocean.st.usm.edu. You may also submit comments or recommend pu
blications through the Annotated Bibliography page of RTE's World Wide
Web site at http://members.aol.com/RTEngl/rtehome.htm.
