This study aimed at investigating the relationship between self-regulated learning strategies, social media usage, and motivation, as well as the influences of three variables to Arabic learners' Academic achievement (GPA) in Malaysian public universities. To collect the data, a number of 317 male and female undergraduate Malaysian Arabic learners were randomly selected from six public universities in Malaysia as participants of this study. The instruments were developed from Jansen et al., (2017), Monachesi et al., (2008), and Pintrich et al., (1991). Then, IBM SPSS was used for data screening and descriptive analysis whereas Smart-PLS were applied to analysis most of the inferential statistics and develop models for the influence of self-regulated learning strategies, social media usage and motivation on academic achievement, as well as the mediation effect among three variables. The findings indicated Arabic learners with medium level self-regulated learning strategies, social media usage and high level of motivation in Arabic learning. Moreover, the participants frequently use metacognitive skill and help-seeking strategies but rarely use time management in learning.
