Having ready before teaching is not an exception in this regard as the teacher's criteria in imparting knowledge to his students is expectedly intended to facilitate effective and meaningful teaching. Therefore, the study generally attempts to investigate the perceived level of pre-service teachers' readiness towards teaching Arabic language.

Besides that, the inferential statistical analysis; chi-square test were used to examine the association between the variables. The findings show that the readiness in terms of KSA and PCK among pre-service teachers was at a medium level. Meanwhile, the result demonstrates a high level of interest in the teaching of Arabic language among pre-service teachers.
