摘要：Communicative skills come into prominence and are placed in the centre in any type of product published, digital or in another form in the new millenium – when technology is developing rapidly. Ability to communicate is the basic skill in many courses, and mainly in the native language course. Writing, one of the basic fields of skill in languages, is an important domain of linguistic skill in which individuals share their feelings, ideas, dreams and desires with the external world; and it is one of the three basic instruments of communication (namely, spoken, written and visual). This research aimed to develop a tool of measurement in order to determine secondary school students’ motivation for writing. The scale was composed of 4 sub-scales; namely, self-efficacy, affective state, social acceptance, and physical state. The number of items in the Writing Motivation Scale was 28 in total. Therefore, the maximum score receivable from this scale – which was in 3-pointed Likert type- was 84 whereas the minimum score was 28.
