Communicating in Arabic among non-native speakers is foreign and it becomes unfavourable for students who have never studied Arabic. But for those who have basic of Arabic, the situation is different. This is due to the fact that speaking Arabic demands knowledge and particular abilities. This study is significant with the aim of identifying the level of Arabic language communication attitude and the level of readiness to communicate in Arabic among the students of Kolej Universiti Islam Perlis. This is a quantitative study conducted on 150 students at Kolej Universiti Islam Perlis, using questionnaire to obtain data related to the level of readiness to communicate and attitude to communicate. Correlation analysis is used to determine the relationship between two variables. The findings indicates that students' readiness to communicate on average is at a moderate level (M = 3.5703). On average, the students' communication attitude level is high (M = 3.9248). Correlation analysis shows that there is a significant positive relationship between the attitude to communicate in Arabic and the readiness to communicate in Arabic which is supported by the correlation coefficient (r = 0.787, p < 0.01). Consequently, one of the key elements that can significantly influence the level of readiness to communicate in Arabic among students is their attitude, which can help to raise the degree of readiness to do so. The higher the students' attitude, the higher their level of readiness to communicate in Arabic. For further studies, it is suggested that studies relate to attitudes and vocabulary as factors of student readiness to communicate in Arabic.
