Abstract

The Arabic proficiency test in Indonesia has recently shown a significant development, compared to the TOEFL, in the decade of the 2000s. The UPI Arabic Language Education Department began to develop this test to be more compatible with internet-based (iBT). This paper describes some of the efficiency and innovations of a test format called Imalah.com. iBT is applied to guarantee the quality of learning outcomes based on accurate and specific measurements of performance that occurs in realizing what is expected so that quality assurance is truly a guarantee of real achievement. The proficiency test was developed by lecturers and researchers to find out the Arabic learners’ strengths and weaknesses to identify aspects of difficulty and convenience in the language being studied. The test covers language knowledge and language skills. Language skills include listening (istima’), speaking (muhadatsah), reading (qiraah), and writing (kitabah). The expected results and implications of the development of imalah.com are being able to measure the ability of test-takers more accurately.
