Acquiring a new language is indeed a challenge to students especially if they are required to learn it without any experience in practicing the language. Students understanding in new language acquisition is also depended on the language lecturers’ teaching strategies. Hence, the purpose of this study is to explore the effectiveness of Arabic language lecturers’ teaching strategies on students understanding in Universiti Teknologi MARA (UiTM). A total of 348 students from various faculties at three different campuses in UiTM South Zone campuses (Negeri Sembilan, Melaka and Johor) were conveniently selected and responded in this study. The statistical Package for Social Science (SPSS) was used to analyse data through descriptive and Partial Least Square Structural Equation Modelling (PLS-SEM) used to analyse data through correlation analysis. Referring to the correlation analysis, the finding is expected to reveal that there is a positive and strong relationship between Arabic language lecturers’ teaching strategies and students understanding. It is also expected to reveal the teaching strategies mostly adopted by the Arabic language lecturers in creating an effective and meaningful language learning environment.
