Resumen

Este artículo describe el desarrollo y la estandarización de una medida de
autoestima en la clase de lengua extranjera. La confiabilidad y la validez de la Escala de
Autoestima en la Clase de Lengua Extranjera (SEFLS; en inglés) fue determinada para una
muestra de 252 hablantes nativos de español que estudian una lengua extranjera. El coeficiente
de confiabilidad de la prueba fue ω= ,92. El Análisis Factorial Confirmatorio (AFC)
arrojó un ajuste aceptable del modelo de estructura tridimensional de 10 ítems. Las tres
dimensiones fueron competencia lingüística, desempeño de destrezas y apoyo social percibido.
La medida SEFLS podría ser una herramienta útil para evaluar la autoestima de los
estudiantes en las clases de idiomas. Se añaden las implicaciones, limitaciones y direcciones
para una investigación futura.
