Analysis Comparing the Approaches Used by Novice and Seasoned High School English Reading Teachers.

Reading is a key component of teaching English in high school. This study contrasts and compares the pre, while, and post-reading teaching styles of inexperienced and seasoned teachers using the PWP paradigm, and it comes to five conclusions: Both inexperienced and seasoned educators are more aware of the fundamentals of teaching reading; 2. inexperienced educators pay less attention to their students than experienced educators; 3. inexperienced educators are less familiar with their students; 4. inexperienced educators are less familiar with the subject matter; and 5. inexperienced educators are less hands-on with their students than experienced educators. Lastly, the following four suggestions are for inexperienced teachers: Novice teachers have four requirements: 1) they must adhere to the "student-centeredness" principle; 2) they must adopt proper teaching posture; 3) they must get familiar with the subject matter; and 4) they must gain more experience in the classroom.
