Author Description

Published by the Conference on College Composition and Communication, this publication offers teachers and researchers an annual classified listing of scholarship on written English and its teaching. This volume cites 1,815 titles that, with few exceptions, were published during the 1987 calendar year. The bibliography lists each work, descriptively annotates all citations, cross-references citations where appropriate, and indexes all authors and editors. A group of 166 contributing bibliographers prepared the citations and annotations for the entries appearing in this volume. The first in an annual series, <i>The CCCC</i><i>Bibliography </i>focuses on publications of interest to teachers and researchers in colleges and universities. It includes works that treat written communication, the processes whereby human beings compose and understand written messages, and methods of teaching people to communicate effectively in writing. <p></p>Entries appear under five major categories: bibliographies and checklists; theory and research; teacher education, administration, social roles; curriculum; testing, measurement, and evaluation. Works are cited from four major sources: periodicals; scholarly presses and commercial publishers; Dissertation Abstracts International (DAI); and Resources in Education (RIE), an ERIC index. <p></p><p></p>
