• PURPOSES WERE--TO EXPLORE IDEAS FOR RESEARCH, IN ENGLISH, THAT HAD EMERGED AT PREVIOUS CONFERENCES, TO EXAMINE METHODS OF RESEARCH IN LITERACY SCHOLARSHIP AND LINGUISTIC SCIENCE, TO CONSULT WITH EXPERTS IN RESEARCH DESIGN, AND TO TEST THE HYPOTHESIS THAT EXPERTS IN LITERATURE, LANGUAGE, PSYCHOLOGY, AND EDUCATION CAN WORK TOGETHER EFFECTIVELY TO IMPROVE KNOWLEDGE ABOUT TEACHING ENGLISH. TWO MEASURES WERE PROPOSED BY THE CONFERENCE PLANNERS. THE FIRST MEASURE WAS TO INVITE REPRESENTATIVES OF RELATED DISCIPLINES TO PREPARE FOR PRESENTATION AT THE GENERAL SESSIONS. THE PRESENTATIONS CONCERNED RESEARCH METHODS OF LITERACY SCHOLARSHIP, RESEARCH METHODS OF THE LINGUIST, PROBLEMS AND POSSIBILITIES OF RESEARCH IN TEACHING COMPOSITION, AND RESEARCH DESIGNS FOR TEACHING READING IN ELEMENTARY SCHOOLS AND LITERATURE IN SECONDARY SCHOOLS. THE SECOND MEASURE WAS THE USE OF STUDY GROUPS COMPOSED OF RESEARCH CONSULTANTS, TEACHING SPECIALISTS, AND LITERATURE SCHOLARS.
