Countable Noun Analysis on Connect (Term 2) Student's Book: A Book Analysis

Abstract

The complexity of language in children's books can provide serious challenges for young readers, leading to frustration and preventing comprehension. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the accessibility of the English children's book, "Connect Term 2 Student's Book," by investigating the utilization of countable nouns and their implications for teachability, similarity, availability, coverage, and defining power. This type of research is quantitative descriptive. The study found 172 countable nouns in the text using a quantitative descriptive method, with 89.53% being singular nouns and 10.47% being plural nouns. The findings provide light not just on the language complexity of the book, but also on its potential for successful teaching, conceptual understanding, and general readability for young readers.
