Conclusion:
English teachers, for the most part, do not read research in their field of
English Education.
Quote: “Hillocks
shares Brandt’s concern for the lack of exchange between researchers and
teachers. As evidence of this, he points to RTE’s (Research in the Teaching of English) low subscription numbers
relative to the membership of NCTE (and relative to those of
practitioner-oriented journals like Language
Arts, English Journal, and College English), and to numerous
studies indicating how little published research makes its way into secondary
English methods courses for pre-service teachers.” P. 138.
Comment: Most English teachers do not read research
in the field of English education. The next question is, why not? Shifted from classroom problems to research
dealing with social issues. RayS.
