How are classes divided?
During the orientation at the beginning of the term, all students with previous Arabic study are required to take a placement exam. This includes an oral, written, and listening part, lasting about two hours. After the exams are corrected, students are placed into groups no larger than six per class. This is to ensure that students are placed at their appropriate level. During the first week of classes, if a teacher notices a student does not fit into the level of the class level, adjustments are made as necessary.
