Introduction
Every organization strives to provide an excellent workplace for their employees or
workers. Employees respond best in a work environment which is engaging, challenging,
collaborative and supportive. The organization culture relies on the communication and
collaboration among the employees. As a part-time Arabic teacher for school children, I feel that
apart from the integrated programs and well-designed curriculum it is essential to have a
supportive and collaborative environment within the classroom that encourages free
communication. The school work environment and the communication leave an impact on the
competence of the teachers and the learning by the students.
Description of workplace
The higher secondary school is mid-sized and well established. The classrooms are
spacious and airy. The teacher to student ratio is high, and there are about forty to fifty students
in the classroom. The students struggle with their Arabic lessons. There are no computers or
infrastructure to aid learning. In most Arab countries, the educational institutions face the
difficult problems of providing labs, computers and net connections required for teaching e-lit.
The notion of teaching e-lit with the help of new technologies is still not readily accepted (Hosny
2017, p. 5).
Communication structure
There is a traditional learning environment within the classroom. The students use their
textbooks to learn Arabic and do some reading. There is a minimum interaction between the
students and the teachers. The only teaching aids are the books and the blackboard. When one
looks at the school as a workplace, one is able to develop new approaches to teaching and
learning. Individual and group work need support within the school. There is a positive

relationship between the work environment and the people working within. Thus, the classroom
environment will have an impact on the teachers and students.
Developing Effective communication skills
Children need to develop strong communication skills in early childhood so that they can
interact with others and express their needs. Learning to express is the first step towards growing
cognitively and linguistically (Greenwood et al. 2013, p. 540). The communication model
within the classroom needs further improvement. While the students are able to learn Arabic, it is
essential to keep in mind that many students are not native Arabic speakers. The communication
style and infrastructure within the school need further improvement to improve its goals. The
nature of the communication is one of the most important elements that determine the process of
communication.
The culture within the school is ultimately created and developed by school leaders that
comprise of the principal, teachers, and students. Although the leaders are aware of the culture
within their organization, they often are not sure as to how to influence it. Good leaders can help
reinforce the existing culture and build resilient cultures (Sabancı et al. 2018, p. 157). Evidence
suggests that the school culture is affirmed by the school's leaders, the behaviour, routines, and
rituals. The school principal and the teachers can work as communication leaders within the
school organization. Effective communication skills can help work towards the common goal of
the organization of school (Doğan, Çetin, & Koçak 2016, p. 57). Thus, an efficient
communication network is a necessity within an educational organization. A study on teacher
competencies in Indonesian schools shows that testing the competencies is essential to map
teacher competence and determine their professional development. Based on that, programs can
