The study results were as follows: methods (silent, natural and cognitive) had obtained highest estimations, while (total physical response, communicative and attitudes) methods, had obtained lowest estimations. And there were significant statistical differences at the level of significance (α=0.05) due to gender variable. Also there were no significant statistical differences at level (α=0.05) due to following variables: (teaching experience and academic ranking). The study recommended that universities should organize training courses in the teaching methods for members of Arabic teaching for non-native speakers emphasizing the following methods (total physical response, attitudes and eclectic).
