This article describes the development of a new questionnaire for assessing L2 learners' language attitudes. Drawing on theoretical work in the fields of social psychology and applied linguistics, the author reviewed the concept of (language) attitudes and contrasted them with the concept of (language) motivation. This thorough literature review, including an examination of the currently available instruments, resulted in the generation of question items for the new questionnaire. The empirical part of the project consisted of data collection and analyses to establish the internal structure of the proposed instrument and to assess its reliability. The new Language Attitudes Questionnaire for Language Learners was found psychometrically sound and easily interpretable.

第二语言学习者的语言态度及其评估

本文介绍了一种新的问卷调查表的开发，该问卷表用于评估L2学习者的语言态度。利用社会心理学和应用语言学领域的理论工作，作者回顾了（语言）态度的概念，并将其与（语言）动机的概念进行了对比。这份详尽的文献综述（包括对当前可用工具的检查）导致生成了新问卷的问题项目。该项目的实证部分包括数据收集和分析，以建立拟议仪器的内部结构并评估其可靠性。新的《语言学习者语言态度调查表》从心理上讲是合理的，并且易于解释。
