Abstract
This study investigates the features that junior high school EFL learners perceive as influencing the readability of model paragraphs. A total of 279 junior high school students participated in a questionnaire designed to explore their perceptions of what contributes to the readability of model paragraphs. Using a Likert-scale format ranging from strongly disagree to strongly agree, the questionnaire focused on two main factors affecting their reading comprehension of the texts. The findings indicate that while learners are able to identify certain features that affect readability, their perceptions of these features do not significantly influence their overall understanding of the model paragraphs within the context of learning to write.
