METHODS OF RESEARCH ON TEACHING THE ENGLISH LANGUAGE ARTS: THE METHODOLOGY CHAPTERS FROM THE HANDBOOK OF RESEARCH ON TEACHING THE ENGLISH LANGUAGE ARTS (2nd ed.). James Flood, Diane Lapp, James R. Squire, and Julie M. Jensen (Eds.). Mahwah, NJ: Erlbaum, 2005. Pp. viii + 337. $39.95 paper.

This text combines the research methodology chapters from the second edition of the Handbook of research on teaching the English language arts (Flood, Lapp, Squire, & Jensen, 2003) to provide readers with a concise account of contemporary research methodologies in the English language arts (ELA). The volume begins with a general overview of ELA research for teachers before addressing more specific methodological topics, which include multiple literacies, empirical research, longitudinal studies and literacy development, case studies, ethnography, teacher research, synthesis research, and fictive representation. The volume concludes with a summary chapter that speculates on current methodological issues and future directions for researching the ELA.
