Back to my Device _ Here's a Scenerio

Bora has just moved to the United States from Turkey. He is an ESL student and he came to America to practice English.

He bought a mobile device. He is sitting in a coffee shop, listening music from his mobile device and reading an ESL e-book that he downloaded via Internet from the same device. He zooms into a word that he never saw before and highlights it. A pop-up window appears that has three options. First he clicks on the translation option, then to pronunciation. This is an option where he can see a graphic correspondence to the specific word he just highlighted. This option helps him to memorize the correct pronunciation and spelling. Then he enables the audio option. This way he visually and auditory learns a new vocabulary.

After a while a Polish girl comes close to the table. She’s the girl that he met couple of days ago at the ESL Networking application he just downloaded to his mobile device. It’s a socializing website that contacts ESL students to each other. They start a nice conversation and he impresses the girl with the new word he just learned. They watch together the video tutorial that is saved in his mobile device and record themselves repeating the same example and compare with the video simultaneously how successful they were. It’s fun to study together. They will meet again the next weekend to go to a museum. So he adds this date on his organizer using the same device. He checks up the map feature of this device and gets an idea where the museum is located. It’s not far from his ESL school.

They walk together to the subway station and take different trains back home.
During the ride he is watching a pod-cast Business English class. After a while he takes off his headphones and enjoys understanding the people talking around him in the subway. He thinks that NYC is a great city to live.
