Abstract
This study presents the stages of constructing the FL (Foreign Language) listening style scale. The 17-item scale aims to reveal EFL learners’ listening style and helps listeners better understand the internally based characteristics they need in understanding the English aural message. The three steps of the scale development procedure were as follows: designing the listening style-related items based on Kinsella's Perceptual Learning Preferences Survey (1995); revising the items in line with professional advice; carrying out two pilot studies at different times and establishing a reliability study. First, exploratory factor analysis was conducted. Based on the analysis, a total of 17 items were determined in four dimensions: visual, spatial, auditory, and bottom-up styles. The total variance explained was found to be 48.82%. In terms of reliability studies, the scale's Cronbach's alpha reliability was .76, and for its subscales, it was .70 for visual style, .71 for spatial style, .59 for auditory style, and .46 for bottom-up style.
