Lexica Arabic™

Vocabulary and Placement Test for Native Speakers of Arabic 

Understanding your students’ Arabic vocabulary levels has never been faster or easier. Lexica Arabic provides the first corpus-based test of Standard Arabic vocabulary. Immediate, valid, and reliable data will help identify language levels of incoming students and show progress over time. Delivered on computer, tablet, or mobile, Lexica Arabic is instantly scored and fun to use, making data-informed decisions possible.

Lexica Arabic is based on an innovative and well-researched model for quickly estimating general language proficiency.
