The learning and teaching of Arabic language in many non-Arabic speaking countries face several obstacles which should be overcome in order to advance the Arabic language, especially in light of the migration of the Arabs to neighboring countries, among them Turkey. This paper intends to highlight the repercussions of the migration of these Syrian Arabs to Turkey in relation to the teaching of Arabic and its learning to non-native speakers and discussing the possible means to benefit from this situation to improve the teaching and learning of the language. Among the conclusions of the study are that the interaction between Arabic and Turkish languages intensifies as the two communities became closer; the spread of Arab in Turkey and other western countries is an ample opportunity to spread the learning and teaching of Arabic among the non-native speakers and also to strengthen Arabic in the souls of the immigrants in those countries; the Turkish government itself has issued rules and regulations that would help the learning and teaching of Arabic for nonnative speakers; only the correct policy can help to sustain Arabic from diminishing and being forgotten.
