Psychometric Properties of the Motivation Towards English Scale in University Students
Motivation is one of the necessary components for learning and mastering English as a foreign, second, or additional language in places where English is not the native language. For this reason, a review of the instruments used to assess motivation towards English has been carried out, which shows t...

| description | Motivation is one of the necessary components for learning and mastering English as a foreign, second, or additional language in places where English is not the native language. For this reason, a review of the instruments used to assess motivation towards English has been carried out, which shows that only a few instruments have good psychometric tests. Therefore, the main objective of the present study was to assess the validity and reliability of the Motivation towards English Scale. The total sample size was 541 undergraduate students, of whom 41.4% (n = 224) were male and 58.6% (n = 317) were female. Analyses indicated that the internal structure of the scale provided a good fit to the two-dimensional model with RMSEA= .06; GFI= .98; CFI= .97, TLI= .95, and SRMR= .07, and factor loadings ranging from .643 to .797. Reliability for the first factor Alpha and Omega was .835 and for the second factor a coefficient of .77 for Alpha and Omega. The study demonstrated adequate psychometric properties of the Motivation towards English Scale, making this instrument reliable, useful, and concise.
