Abstract

This study explored the readability level of reading text and higher order thinking skills in reading comprehension questions in English textbook entitled Bahasa Inggrisfor Senior High School students grade x used by the tenth grade students of SMAN 1 Indralaya.Readability refers to how easily writing is to read and understand. Readability was created to assess the suitability of text for students at certain grade levels or ages. Higher order thinking skillrefers to the highest three levels of the cognitive domain which include analyzing, evaluating, creatingUsing the descriptive content analysis, this study was aimed to determine the readability level of the reading text used by the tenth grade students of SMAN 1 Indralaya,to know the students reading level using reading test, and to know what level of HOTS included in the textbook using analysis card from the revised Bloom’s taxonomy. There were 24 reading texts analyzed for their readability. The results revealed that, as a whole,the readability index of the English textbook is fairly difficult to read with an average Reading Ease score of 56.94. Theoretically, the textbook is readable and appropriate for the tenth grade students in general. However, since the students’ reading level of the tenth grade of SMAN 1 Indralaya is at level 6, the English textbookdoes not represent the students reading level.No one in the previous related studies have combined the readability with HOTS, and compared readability with the students’ reading level. The other result revealed that the distribution of HOTS in the reading comprehension questions is low, only 16.90% from 142 reading comprehension questions. In conclusion, the English textbook entitled Bahasa Inggrisfor Senior High School students grade x was not appropriate for the tenth grade students of SMAN 1 Indralaya.
