Who we are:

Founded in 2014, Diglossia is a global language company dedicated to enriching lives by advancing language development and literacy worldwide.

Our versatile array of language assessments, introduced to the world in 2014, equips decision-makers with accurate and dependable data. This information proves invaluable when assessing the effectiveness of language programs, implementing new curricula, and identifying professional development requirements.

Utilizing state-of-the-art research and technology to refine our K-16 assessments, allows us to ensure that they meet the dynamic needs of language education. Through partnerships with distinguished scholars and institutions, we extend our global reach to empower language learners everywhere.

Diglossia was founded with a mission to promote Arabic literacy in the MENA region. Recognizing the pressing need for standards-based Arabic literacy assessments, we are honored to partner with The Arab Thought Foundation and the Arabi21 Project to develop Mubakkir. This pioneering online test is the first of its kind, designed to measure literacy development in Arabic early language learners. Developed based on the Arabic Reading Level Standards by Dr. Hanada Taha of Zayed University, Mubakkir is accessible to both native and non-native speakers.

TALA meticulously evaluates vocabulary, reading, and writing skills, aligning with the World Language Initiative Arabic standards. Our comprehensive assessment offerings also includes Lexica vocabulary and placement assessments designed to serve both English and Arabic speakers alike.

Our Professional Development workshops offer versatile solutions, available in onsite, online, or blended formats, enabling teachers and administrators to stay updated on the latest practices in language assessment. Moreover, Diglossia extends its services beyond the education sector, partnering with employers and industries to deliver customized workforce screening and language proficiency tests in both English and Arabic.
