Abstract :It is important for learners to effectively use their listening skills in the target language for foreign language learning. Metacognitive awareness of learners about listening is one of the variables affecting listening skills. There is a need for valid and reliable measurement tools to determine learners\' listening metacognitive awareness. Therefore, this study conducted the validity and reliability analysis of the Turkish version of the "Metacognitive Awareness Listening Questionnaire (MALQ)” developed in 2006. The original questionnaire was developed to review the metacognitive awareness of foreign language learners about listening skills in foreign languages. 131 students learning Turkish as a foreign language were utilized during the adaptation of the scale to Turkish. The application was carried out at Afyon Kocatepe University TÖMER. The scale consists of 21 items and 5 sub-dimensions. Findings regarding the construct validity of the scale were analyzed using confirmatory factor analysis (CFA). A similar structure was obtained with the original scale at the end of the examination. There are 6 items in the problem solving dimension, 5 items in the planning evaluation dimension, 3 items in the mental translation dimension, 4 items in the directed attention dimension, and 3 items in the person knowledge dimension. The Cronbach\'s Alpha reliability coefficient of the scale is 0,89; while the Omega reliability coefficient is 0,92. We concluded at the end of the examination that the scale adapted to Turkish can be used to determine the listening metacognitive awareness of learners learning Turkish as a foreign language.Keywords : Dinleme, dinleme becerisi, üstbiliş, dinleme üstbiliş farkındalığı.
