We analyzed eight popular first grade middle school English textbooks with Coh-Metrix, an automated Web-based software tool designed to evaluate text and discourse based on many linguistic and psycholinguistic measures. For this, we created a corpus which consists of 101 Unicode text files. These text files contained reading materials presented in eight middle school English textbooks. Coh-Metrix was applied to investigate differences among the textbooks and differences among the chapters of each textbook in terms of some representative Coh-Metrix measures selected for this study. Our findings showed that there were differences among the textbooks in the basic count, word frequency, readability, syntactic complexity, lexical diversity, co-referential coherence, and semantic coherence measures. There were also differences among the chapters of each textbook in those Coh-Metrix measures. Our findings imply more systematic criteria as well as practical evaluation measures are needed for the design of school English textbooks; they can serve as specific guidelines for textbook writers and later help English teachers select the most appropriate teaching materials for their teaching context.
