Abstract
The psychometric integrity of the Foreign Language Attitudes and Perceptions Survey for college students was investigated. Two hundred and seventy-eight college students were administered a modified version of the survey (FLAPS-C). Internal consistency reliabilities, as determined by Cronbach’s alpha, were .74, attitudes; .80, perceptions; and .86, combined. Testretest reliability was equally robust ( r = .83). Factor analytic data suggest a one-factor solution rather than two separate factors (i.e., attitudes and perceptions). Results provide preliminary support for the use of FLAPS-C as a measure of college students’ attitudes and perceptions toward learning a foreign language. The FLAPS-C’s potential utility for secondary and postsecondary special educators of at-risk students including those with learning disabilities is discussed.
