Abstract :This study primarily aims to adapt the Foreign Language Learning insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(FLL);, Computer assisted Learning insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(CAL); and Computer assisted Language Learning insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(CALL); scales developed by Vandewaetere and Desmet into Turkish context. The instrument consists of three scales which are the attitude towards CALL questionnaire insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(A-CALL); insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(composed of 20 questions);, the attitude towards CAL questionnaire insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(A-CAL); insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(composed of 9 questions); and the attitude towards FLL questionnaire insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(A-FLL); insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(composed of 31 questions); respectively. The participants consisted of 375 university students who volunteered to answer the questions. The participants were students at the foreign language preparatory school of a state university in Turkey. The participants were selected using convenience sampling method. A confirmatory factor analysis insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(CFA); was carried out on the data. The results were often compared with the original scale. The adapted version of the A-CALL questionnaire indicates a similar goodness of fit with the original one, which is mediocre. CFA results indicate that the adapted version of the A-CAL questionnaire is compatible with the original questionnaire showing a fit from mediocre to good. Again, CFA results of the A-FLL subscales reveal a consistent fit with the original subscale.
