| description | One of the sources that determine the success of the educational process are textbooks. However, we often come across Arabic textbooks that are difficult for students to understand. The content of textbooks is related to the ease or complexity of the material, known as readability. The importance of readability cannot be overestimated, as it directly affects the effectiveness of written texts. The content of the text must be clear, effective and adapted to the abilities of the students so that the learning objectives are achieved, and their language skills are improved. Therefore, this study aims to determine the level of readability of the Extended Arabic Language Textbook (BAL) for graduate students from one of the Malaysian higher education institutions at the Islamic University of Sultan Ahmad Shah Pahang (UnIPSAS), Malaysia. A quantitative survey design using the Close test was conducted among 169 graduate students from UnIPSAS. The data, which were analyzed using descriptive analysis, shows that the level of readability of the BAL textbook as a whole is at an unsatisfactory level, which does not correspond to the goals of teaching and learning. Textbook authors should review the texts selected as academic texts for the course (BAL). It is hoped that the results of this study can be used by Arabic language textbook authors to improve the quality of students' reading skills and understanding of the language. |
