Validation of Self-Regulatory Capacity in Vocabulary Learning Scale in Turkish

AbstractThis paper presents the findings of an adaptation and validation study of a questionnaire designed to measure self- regulatory capacity in vocabulary to a Turkish English as a Foreign Language context. First, the instrument was translated into Turkish and back translated into English. It was then administered to 102 pre-intermediate high school students. Confirmatory factor analysis validated the original higher order model after the removal of all environment control items and two emotion control items. The findings suggest that the Turkish version of the questionnaire can be a reliable and valid measurement of self-regulated vocabulary learning in high school students
