The implementation of the test comes as part of the university's efforts to enhance the efficiency of teaching Arabic to non-native speakers and to assess language skills according to scientific standards that contribute to the development of educational programs and the improvement of learning outcomes quality.
The Hamza test contributes to measuring the proficiency level of graduates from the Institute for Teaching Arabic to Speakers of Other Languages, helping verify the effectiveness of educational outcomes and assess the impact of the programs offered in developing their language skills and improving their Arabic language performance.
The Hamza tests also targeted students expected to graduate from the university's colleges who are non-native Arabic speakers, by measuring the impact of the university environment, campus community, and academic and social engagement on the development of their language skills, as well as the extent of improvement in their use of the Arabic language throughout their university studies.
The Hamza test is conducted during the morning period within an organized procedural framework aimed at providing a suitable testing environment and ensuring the highest standards of quality in implementation and execution.
