Sažetak
The aim of this paper was to pilot test the L2MSS among Croatian university students using the motivation questionnaire developed by Taguchi et al. (2009). This study attempted to validate subscales of the Taguchi et al. (2009) questionnaire in a Croatian context and provide a basis for further investigation of the L2MSS. A total of 110 first year students, who were non- English majors from the University of Zadar, participated in the pilot study. The results of the factor analysis show that the items tested in each subscale had salient loadings and showed satisfactory internal consistency. It can be concluded that the sub-scales can be used on a larger sample for further studies and research on the L2MSS.
