The purpose of the research is to develop the scale of attitude towards the learning of a foreign language. Following the presentation of the expert opinion of 30 items created as a result of the area summer scan, 5 likert type expressions were created. The draft scale is applied to 448 students studying in the Department of English, German and French Teaching at the University of Gazi. As a result of the opening factor analysis, 6 substances were removed from scale. The materials that describe 63,316% of the total variance are gathered in 3 factors (interest, benefit and concern) and 10 are positive, 6 are negative, and 16 are made up of a total of 16 elements. In the reliability study of the measurement, Cronbach alpha reliability ratio was looked at and found 0.92. Based on these findings, it can be said that the scale is valid, reliable and can be used to measure students’ attitudes towards learning a foreign language. In this scale, studies can be conducted to determine the attitudes of different groups, and learning problems arising from attitudes can be identified and arranged to resolve them.
