Arab Academy provides an Arabic Language Proficiency Test (ALPT) to measure competency in the language. It measures listening, reading, structure, writing, and speaking. Here are a few key reasons why individuals should take the ALPT as they learn Arabic:
1. Class Placement
Taking the ALPT will allow learners to understand what courses they may need to take. If beginner students have only a basic understanding of the Arabic language, the ALPT will let them know what classes will help them develop their skills. The ALPT will allow advanced students to understand what classes they need to take to avoid repeating information. It will also make sure that they are challenged intellectually with their class placement.
2. Academic Requirements
Students who want to be accepted into academic programs in the Arabic language are often required to complete testing to verify their knowledge. The ALPT is endorsed by the Islamic Chamber of Commerce and Industry (ICCI) and is accepted by many universities and schools. Taking this exam will provide proof of proficiency for students of all ages. Some foreign universities may require students to take the ALPT or a similar exam before an admissions officer admits them to the learning institution.
3. Career Advancement
Some jobs require a certain level of proficiency in the Arabic language. Those jobs may include interpreting, teaching the Arabic language, or serving as a foreign service officer. Business executives and directors may want to verify your comprehension skills before hiring you. Taking the ALPT provides a credible way to prove your Arabic proficiency. It can also set you apart from other job applicants, potentially opening the door for new career opportunities.
4. Intellectual Challenge
Individuals who enjoy learning languages will benefit from taking the ALPT. It provides clear results about their current knowledge level. Testing also helps individuals understand their language weaknesses and whether they need to work on grammar, vocabulary, or speaking.
Our Language Proficiency Test Process
The ALPT offered at Arab Academy is administered online. Every individual taking the test needs to use a computer or laptop with a stable internet connection. The listening, reading, and grammar sections are multiple-choice, and the writing section is in essay format. A certified proctor or Arab Academy teacher will also be involved in the speaking section of the test.
The test will adjust its difficulty level according to your answers — the more correct answers you give, the harder the questions may become. If you are making several mistakes in a row, the test will administer simpler questions or end that portion of the test. You do not have to have advanced Arabic language skills to try the ALPT. Individuals with varying levels of language proficiency can take this test.
