Determination of Readability Levels of Texts in 7th and 8th Grade Turkish and Turkish Culture Textbooks

Öz

Turkish lessons are given to bilingual Turkish children living abroad so that they can use Turkish effectively and get to know Turkish culture better. Turkish and Turkish Culture textbooks were prepared by the Ministry of National Education Publications as resource books for these courses. In this study, the readability levels of 16 prose texts in 7th and 8th grade textbooks were analyzed. One text was selected from each unit. The aim of the study is to determine whether the readability levels of the texts in the textbooks are suitable for the seventh and eighth grades. In order to determine the readability levels of the texts, Ateşman Readability Formula adapted from Flesch Reading Ease formula was used for Turkish texts. According to the results of the study, it was observed that the difficulty levels of the seventh-grade texts were at the easy level, while the eighth-grade texts were at the medium difficulty level. Another one of the readability formulas adapted to Turkish, Çepni and Gökdere's Fog formula, was used. According to the results of the formula, it was observed that the level of seventh grade reading texts was in the 12-13 age range. The level of eighth grade reading texts was determined to be in the 14-15 age range. This level seems appropriate for students studying in Turkey, but we know that students studying abroad do not have enough command of Turkish. For this reason, the difficulty levels of the texts were found to be higher than the learners' level.
