Twice a year, in the May and November issues, RTE publishes a selected
bibliography of recent research in the teaching of English. Most of t
he studies appeared during the six-month period preceding the compilat
ion of the bibliography (January through June, 1998, for the present b
ibliography), but some studies that appeared earlier are occasionally
included. The listing is selective; we make no attempt to include all
research and research-related studies that appeared in the period unde
r review. Comments on the bibliography and suggestions about items for
inclusion may be directed to the bibliography editors. We encourage y
ou to send your suggestions to brownd@oak.cats.ohiou.edu or mwhiting @
ocean.st.usm.edu. You may also submit comments or recommend publicatio
ns through the Annotated Bibliography page of RTE's World Wide Web sit
