Abstract

The aim of this article is to utilize different readability formulas proposed by some authoritative sources to determine the readability levels of the Tibetan teaching textbooks from 2th to 12th grade. The research about readability of textbooks can not only indicate the specific readability level of each book quantitatively but also provide advisable direction of improvement. For this purpose, we adopted four formulas including Flesch Reading Ease(FRE) Gunning Fog Index(GFI) Automated Readability Index(ARI) Flesch-Kincaid Formula(FK) to conduct an experiment. As a result, the readability formulas showed good application for the Tibetan teaching textbooks on a whole.
