Annotation

Development of reading comprehension skills in schoolchildren is one of the central problems in second language acquisition. The readability of learning texts in textbooks has been staying in the focus of both linguists and educators. The aim of the research was to study the dynamics of text simplicity in English language textbook “Spotlight 11” for Russian students of the eleventh grade. The texts varied in length and syntactic structure. Syntactic simplicity is determined by number of grammatical structures, the average number of words in a sentence, and the number of words preceding the predicate in a sentence. The quantitative studies also included the ratio of simple, compound and complex sentences in texts. The texts in the textbook show steady dynamics in complexity across the textbook “Spotlight 11”. Besides, for pedagogic and didactic purposes texts intended for revision before Midterm and Term tests are rated with lower values than the rest texts from the corresponding group
