“…What we see is how children's ability to cope with the situation depends on their level of competency in dealing with the complexity of the situation. While adults are able to adapt to challenging environments, children's interaction around driving, distraction and technology may be more dependent on their developmental abilities and prior interaction with the artifacts [8]. In the first example, the child who has to record the address has only basic skills with writing, whereas in the second vignette, the mother has to orient her daughter to the mobile phone's features.…”

This paper examines routine family car journeys, looking specifically at how passengers assist during a mobile telephone call while the drivers address the competing demands of handling the vehicle, interacting with various artefacts and controls in the cabin, and engage in co-located and remote conversations while navigating through busy city roads. Based on an analysis of video fragments, we see how drivers and child passengers form their conversations and requests around the call so as to be meaningful and paced to the demands, knowledge and abilities of their cooccupants, and how the conditions of the road and emergent traffic are oriented to and negotiated in the context of the social interaction that they exist alongside. The study provides implications for the design of car-based collaborative media and considers how hands-and eyesfree natural interfaces could be tailored to the complexity of activities in the car and on the road.

“…However, her paper does not discuss the possible effects this particular discourse has on spelling. Blanchard & Moore (2005) quoting Cooper (2005) state that a person's environment he/she is mostly exposed to has a direct influence on his/her learning. This includes the omnipresent mobile phones and mass media as well.…”

The focus of this research is to find out whether the use of SMS language has a link to the spelling of school going teenagers (within the age limit of thirteen and nineteen years) when writing in English according to the accepted form in schools. Mobile phones are undoubtedly the most commonly used method of communication in the world today. The free availability of SMART phones could be considered as one of its causes. Such phones are equally popular among adults as well as teenagers. Seemingly, the preference of the teenagers is inclined more towards text messaging than voice. Among them, there are many who use abbreviated terms commonly known as SMS language for texting. As Seda (2013) affirms, this particular discourse is also called by other names such as 'textese' and 'textspeak'. The obvious familiarity of these children with the particular usage makes one wonder whether it would affect their spelling when involved in their studies. As a result, this research explores whether the extensive use of SMS language affects the knowledge of formal English spelling of such teenagers.This study has derived its data from a group of teenagers attending two local private schools and an international school Mayanthi Kulatunga Jayakody within the city limits of Colombo and also a few teachers belonging to both these schools. The research tools that were utilized were observation and a questionnaire that collected quantitative as well as qualitative data. This paper, which includes a background history of the mobile phone and text messaging, a list of popular SMS abbreviations in the "SMS discourse" (Mendis, 2006), the methodology and the recommendations based on the findings would hopefully be helpful to English teachers when considering the causes of good or bad spelling of schooling children especially the ones who are within the age limit of thirteen and nineteen years (commonly referred to the teenagers in this study).

Le développement d’un site Web pour le public des 6 à 12 ans aux bibliothèques publiques de Montréal s’est fait en tenant compte des objectifs organisationnels, des besoins du public-cible et des enjeux liés à la spécificité montréalaise. Cet article fait état des démarches et des approches qui ont été employées afin d’élaborer l’offre de services du site et de sélectionner une méthode de publication Web permettant d’implémenter des services interactifs et participatifs à l’intention, à la fois, des jeunes et des bibliothécaires appelés à leur proposer des contenus.
