Abstract
The aim of this study is to develop a scale related to code switching beliefs of learners of Turkish as a foreign language (TFL). The 38-item Code Switching Beliefs of the Learners of Turkish as a Foreign Language Scalewas piloted with 301 students who were learning C1-level Turkish at Harran University TÖMER (Turkish Language Center) and İstanbul Aydın University TÖMER. Based on the data obtained, an exploratory and confirmatory factor analysis was conducted and the finalized 17-item scale comprised the subdimensions of code switchingin the learning-teaching process, code switching by frequency, code switching by reasons and code switchingin the family and social environment. The total variance explained by this scale was calculated as 49.393% and the internal consistency value was .77. Thus, a functional scale is thought to have been developed to serve the purpose of the study.
