This study aims to investigate the three research questions. The first research question, what is the visual-level of Arabic language learning- style using telegram in the laptop among MGL? Secondly, what is the auditory -level of Arabic language learning- style using telegram in the laptop among MGL? And Thirdly, what is the kinaesthetic-level of Arabic language learning-style using telegram in the laptop among MGL? The results of the finding indicate the MGLs are a high-level user of visual and kinaesthetic learning styles.  As for the auditory-level, they are at a moderate level.
