This study was conducted to examine the edutainment approach from the aspects of teachers’ level of knowledge, implementation skill and attitude in Arabic language teaching. It adopted the survey research design where the research data were collected through surveys. The sample of this study comprised 66 randomly selected primary Arabic language teachers from 6 schools. The findings of the study indicate that teachers have high knowledge of the edutainment approach and high skills in implementing the edutainment approach. Furthermore, in terms of attitude, teachers also show a high attitude towards implementing the edutainment approach in teaching Arabic. This shows that primary Arabic teachers have a high level of readiness to implement the edutainment approach in teaching. This is in line with the current push for teachers to adapt to changes and face the era of globalization and 21st-century learning.
