Abstract

This investigation endeavors to ascertain the readability level of the Arabic language textbook designated for fourth-year middle school students in Algeria and to identify any potential disparities in readability across genders. Employing a descriptive methodology, this research incorporated the creation of a cloze test featuring three passages extracted from the textbook, which was administered to a cohort of 173 students.


 The findings revealed that the Arabic language textbook possessed a high readability level, with 57.22% of the participants finding the content suitable, a percentage that aligns with the independent level range of readability. Moreover, the analysis disclosed no significant gender-based differences in readability. Based on these outcomes, the study advocates for a heightened emphasis on the assessment of textbook readability to enhance educational content delivery.
