Abstract

The purpose of this study is to measure the text coherence in order to evlauate the text difficulty. The text coherence is deeper level of lan- guage variable that have a influence on the text difficulty. But it has been neglected in the assessment of the readability due to the difficulty of mea- surement. Therefore, the study introduced Latent Semantic Analysis (LSA) as a alternative technique to measure the coherence. And then, 14 Infor- mational texts of Korean Language Textbook were anlayzed. The results showed informational texts of Korean Language Textbook were needed to revise on the text difficulty.
