Abstract

This study evaluates the text complexity of passages from Textbook 1 in comparison to those in CET 4 to determine their consistency. A total of 12 texts, 6 from Textbook 1 and 6 from CET 4's comprehensive reading section, are analyzed using Eng-Editor. The analysis is structured around three key dimensions: lexical, syntactic, and complexity grade. Findings reveal that Textbook 1's passages are more challenging than those in CET 4. Such insights can guide language educators in harnessing textbooks effectively to enhance students' language proficiency.
