a) Most of the students reported that the material of the textbook is difficult for the students. According to Cowling (2007), the degree of difficulty of a textbook should be based on the students' level and their cognitive level.
For example, the reading material in unit 4 deals with the King Solomon's Mines. Such topics are considered difficult for the students at this age and their background about the relevant material is not too much. Easier materials should have been used in the syllabus. (p. 44).
