Öz
This study aims to develop a valid and reliable scale that can be used to determine the university students’ level of perception on the difficulties in learning English as a foreign language. During the study process, the scale was applied to 147 students for the preliminary assessment, and after validity and reliability analysis, it was rearranged to be ready for the actual application. In the examination of the validity of English Language Learning Difficulties Scale (ELLDS), an exploratory factor analysis (EFA) and confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) were conducted in order to determine its structural validity. AFA was carried out on the data obtained from the first group of participants (275 students), and CFA was carried out on the data obtained from the second group of participants (331 students). According to the value obtained as a result of the scale The total reliability value of the scale was found to be.89. In this study, the load value of each factor was calculated, and as a result, Cronbach’s Alpha value for the items under the application factor was seen to be .85, and Cronbach’s Alpha value for the items under environment – material factor was seen .77, and for the items under interest – willingness factor Cronbach’s Alfa value was found .80, and for the items under social facilities factor Cronbach’s Alfa value was found to be .71. In the examination of the structural validity of the ELLDS; according to the data obtained from the results of the confirmatory factor analysis 𝜒2=247,23, sd=80, and p value was found significant (p=.000).The calculated value was 𝜒2/sd=3,09. This value was regarded as an indicator of a good harmony of the ELLDS in general. development, 15 items were classified under four factors. When evaluations are made considering all the findings; it can be said that, the scale, the validity and the reliability of which were tested, can be used at determining students’ level of perception of difficulties in English language learning.
