Instructional efforts to achieve a higher quality of APL usage are needed. Six possible areas of instruction are cited: program design, styler and debugging; thinking in APL; sophisticated APL techniques; advanced subsets suitable for specific disciplines; new APL software features and hardware devices; and advanced uses of program packages exclusively or in conjunction with user-defined functions and/or data bases. General heuristic principles and outlines as well as specific classroom exercises are provided for potential teachers of APL in the above areas.
