Let's not forget about the 2-year/community college members of the CCCs and
their journal, Teaching English in the Two-year College.
The CCC started out as a meeting of the communication teachers (speech
communication teachers--not something widely seen in Canadian universities)
and writing/composition teachers. At some point, and I couldn't say exactly
when (late 1950s, early 1960s), the speech communication people gravitated
away from the CCCs. The CCCs started out as a one-day conference with less
than 100 people attending. When it is hosted in Chicago, attendance usually
tops 3,000 now.

Hi, Sarah --
Here's some information -- I'll leave description to others. The 4 Cs are
(is?)
the Conference on College Composition and Communication
(http://www.ncte.org/cccc/index.shtml). It's the main meeting for the
university
wing of the National Council of Teachers of English (http://www.ncte.org/).
The
associated journal is called the 3Cs, College Composition and Communication.
You
can see some of it online at http://www.ncte.org/ccc/. There's also College
English, which often focusses on writing issues too (see
http://www.ncte.org/ce/ce0643toc.shtml) and Research on the Teaching of
English
(can't find that URL at the moment), and a publishing wing
(http://www.ncte.org/college/books.shtml).
Well, that will give you some browsing to do during Reading Week! Now wait
for
messages describing what it's like to be in the midst of five or six
thousand
other writing teachers in person.
