This paper studies the effect of implementing a new free Arabic language learning software Test survey For Students (TSFS) developed by the researchers and marketed as brain training software for primary students on language skills using Science, Technology, Arts and Mathematics (STEAM) subjects and metacognitive theory. The teaching of Arabic language via the application of mobile technology takes place for the first time in Qatari schools specifically for primary students. The researchers included a theoretical analysis of current trends in gamification and Arabic language skills. Reading skills, learning word and sentence skills and dictation skills were the three Arabic basic skills tested to measure the effectiveness of developing these skills for third grade students using STEAM subjects and to increase their cognitive achievement. Quantitative data was analyzed using statistical package for social sciences (SPSS). The study concludes that teaching Arabic language skills with STEAM topics using educational software is effective and has a promising potential to be extended to the whole of MENA region.
