This study investigated the levels of practising effective teaching skills by Arabic language teachers in the primary schools of Abha. The study also aimed to explore the variations in the levels to which Arabic language instructors use efficient teaching techniques according to experience and gender. The study sample included 183 Arabic language teachers from primary schools in Abha city, who were randomly elected. The study used a scale to measure planning skills, implementation skills, and assessment skills as an instrument to collect data. The results showed planning skills ranked first among effective teaching skills of Arabic language teachers, followed by evaluation skills in the second rank, while implementation skills were in the third and last rank among Arabic language teachers. However, the results showed the absence of statistically significant differences in the levels of using effective teaching techniques from the perspectives of Arabic teachers because of gender and years of experience.
