Nice question. I edited the question a bit, and in particular I removed the reference to "aptitude" in the title since only attitude was mentioned in the body (in bold), and they are essentially two different questions.

The question of attitude towards learning anything involves the question of motivation in the subject too among other things.  This is a little broad and I don't think this can be assessed by one questionaire and scale.

Does a *validated* scale to asses a person's **attitude** towards learning a new language exist?

So far I have only found the following questionnaires:

* [Language Learning Attitudes Questionnaire](http://www-01.sil.org/lingualinks/languagelearning/prepareforlanguagelearning/attitude.pdf)
* [Readiness for Language Learning Questionnaire](http://paul-timothy.net/pages/language/Currah%20language%20learning%20attitude%20survey.pdf)
* [Foreign Language Classroom Anxiety Scale (FLCAS)](http://www.publicacions.ub.edu/revistes/bells12/pdf/art11.pdf)
* [Attitude/Motivation Test Battery (AMTB)](http://publish.uwo.ca/~gardner/docs/englishamtb.pdf)
* [Second Language Tolerance of Ambiguity Scale (SLTAS)](http://www.leeds.ac.uk/arts/download/1320/kazamia1999)

**Tags:** measurement, experimental-psychology, language, survey, attitudes
