The aim of the present study is to develop a valid and reliable scale evaluating the effectiveness of language preparatory programs in the acquisition of language skills. In the development of Foreign Language Skills Scale (FLSS) in this study, research sample consisted of 326 preparatory school students for the exploratory factor analysis (EFA) and 350 preparatory school students for the confirmatory factor analysis (CFA). Based on the data obtained from the first sample, an EFA was carried out on the FLSS. EFA has identified that 27 items of the scale have factor loads between 0.519 and 0.729, while they explain 65.376% of the total variance and are distributed under five factors. These factors are named as writing skill, speaking skill, listening skill, core skills, and reading skill. A CFA was applied on the data obtained from the second sample that consisted of 350 students. As a result of the CFA, it was confirmed that the FLSS consisted of 27 items and five factors. For all the items in the scale, item-subscale, item-test correlation coefficients and mean differences between the upper and the lower 27% of the participants were calculated, and it is determined that each item is consistent with not only the subscale it is under but also the whole test. In addition, the Cronbach’s Alpha reliability coefficients of the total scale’s and five sub-scales’ internal consistency is quite high. The FLSS is expected to offer a comprehensive evaluation of the acquisition of four language skills in foreign language teaching programs.

预备学校外语能力评估量表的开发

本研究的目的是建立一个有效和可靠的量表，以评估语言准备课程在掌握语言技能方面的有效性。在本研究的外语技能量表（FLSS）的开发中，研究样本包括326名预科生用于探索性因素分析（EFA）和350名预科生用于确认性因素分析（CFA）。基于从第一个样本获得的数据，在FLSS上执行了EFA。全民教育已经确定，该量表的27个项目的因子负荷在0.519到0.729之间，而它们解释了总方差的65.376％，并分布在五个因素下。这些因素被称为写作技能，口语技能，听力技能，核心技能和阅读技能。对包含350名学生的第二个样本的数据应用了CFA。作为CFA的结果，已确认FLSS由27个项目和五个因素组成。对于量表中的所有项目，计算了项目子量表，项目测试相关系数和上，下27％参与者之间的平均差异，并且确定每个项目不仅与子量表一致，而且与根据，但也整个测试。此外，Cronbach的总规模和五个子规模的内部一致性的Alpha可靠性系数也很高。FLSS有望对外语教学计划中的四种语言技能的获得提供全面的评估。事实证明，FLSS由27个项目和五个因素组成。对于量表中的所有项目，计算了项目子量表，项目测试相关系数和上，下27％参与者之间的平均差异，并且确定每个项目不仅与子量表一致，而且与根据，但也整个测试。此外，Cronbach的总规模和五个子规模的内部一致性的Alpha可靠性系数也很高。FLSS有望对外语教学计划中的四种语言技能的获得提供全面的评估。事实证明，FLSS由27个项目和五个因素组成。对于量表中的所有项目，计算了项目子量表，项目测试相关系数和上，下27％参与者之间的平均差异，并且确定每个项目不仅与子量表一致，而且与根据，但也整个测试。此外，Cronbach的总规模和五个子规模的内部一致性的Alpha可靠性系数也很高。FLSS有望对外语教学计划中的四种语言技能的获得提供全面的评估。并且确定每个项目不仅与它所接受的子量表一致，而且与整个测试都一致。此外，Cronbach的总规模和五个子规模的内部一致性的Alpha可靠性系数也很高。FLSS有望对外语教学计划中的四种语言技能的获得提供全面的评估。并且确定每个项目不仅与它所接受的子量表一致，而且与整个测试都一致。此外，Cronbach的总规模和五个子规模的内部一致性的Alpha可靠性系数也很高。FLSS有望对外语教学计划中的四种语言技能的获得提供全面的评估。
