Motivation, which is one of the key factors of education, is a dimension that should not be overlooked in courses where students are difficult to understand, such as foreign language learning. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to develop a Likert-type measurement tool to determine the levels of motivation for university students to learn English. For this purpose, a pre-test was created from the scan of literature and presented to the assessment of experts. After the changes made in accordance with the recommendations of experts, the scale was first applied with 554 university English language preparation class students to update. An analytical factor is done to determine the validity of the measurement. The Cronbach-α reliability ratio was 0.91. Factor analysis results showed that the scale has two factors that explain 40% of the total variance. The scale, after the changes made on, was applied to the student of the 545 university English preparation class, the validity of the verifying factor analysis was made. The Cronbach alpha ratings for the reliability of the scale were 0.94 for the internal motivation size and 0.97 for the external motivation size. When the verifying factor analysis examined the conformity index that the square value was divided into the freedom degree, it was found to be 4.53. In this way, a valid and reliable scale consisting of 32 items has been developed.
