Quebec-Asia Cyberport is also a web site that enriches students' communication skills. While drafting the text, students must pay attention to the way they express their message. An effective message is one that is formulated to take into account the point of view of the target person or group. It is important to listen and to exchange views with other people. The site is not used to pass judgment on other peoples.
Students learn to be diplomatic and to weigh carefully the words they use.
They can get used to the organization of the site and read what the past winners have written. By the same occasion, they can find out what Asia-related activities, such as seminars, exhibitions and shows, that are taking place in Quebec. In order to encourage the student's participation, teachers can include the contest in their course schedule, in the evaluation section. However, teachers should confirm the number of students participating and the subjects chosen halfway through the session. He or she can use Web search engines as well as traditional reference materials.
