King Salman Academy, Indiana University Partner on Arabic Language Program

The King Salman Global Academy for Arabic Language (KSGAAL) and Indiana University have launched a specialized academic program as part of the academy's Arabic language teacher training project for non-native speakers.
KSGAAL Secretary-General Dr. Abdullah Al-Washmi said the program, running until April 8, builds on ongoing efforts to develop Arabic language education for non-native speakers.

He highlighted the academy's commitment to quality teaching and the use of standardized tests like Hamza, an Arabic language proficiency test.

He added that the partnership with Indiana University underscores KSGAAL's dedication to international academic exchange and best practices in the field.
The program focuses on enhancing teacher and learner competency, improving teaching quality, and advancing language assessment through modern educational standards.

Activities include an introduction to language tests, a specialized training course for Arabic teachers of non-native speakers, and a symposium on Saudi Arabia's efforts in this field, culminating in a practical application of the Hamza test.
