Modern technology has become an auxiliary source in teaching languages and\rdeveloping language basic skills: listening, speaking, reading and writing. Consequently,\rteachers, especially in the field of teaching Arabic to non-Arabic speakers, can not skip these\rtechnological methodsor ignore them in teaching and exercising language skills.The present\rresearch discusses the role of social media in teaching Arabic to non-Arabic speakers in Turkish\rpublic universities. Unlike previous studies which addressed the use of modern technology as a\rsecondary consern in teaching arabic to non-native speakers, this research is one of the few\rstudies thatbasically addresses this issue in this field. This study is dedicated to the study of the\rsocial media and its role in teaching Arabic to non-Arabic speakers in Turkish universities. It\rseeks to answer the following questions: What is the reality of the use of social media in\rteaching Arabic in Turkish universities?
