- Abstract:
- The paper gives eight specific examples of the way Arabian, specifically Omani, culture impacts the learning environment. Teachers are encouraged to explain their own understandings on such classroom issues as lateness, cheating, class participation and asking questions in order to avoid possible misunderstandings. In addition, the author promotes cultural understanding and adjustments to create a positive atmosphere so that teachers and students can concentrate on education.
