Radical change in the English education past few years. Now it starts in the 1st grade at age on 5. In the pass it started in the 6th grade. Kids in the rural areas also goes to school at the age of 5. All mobile phones does not have network application // very basic phones delivered from china etc.
Kids are really motivated to use mobile phones. Mostly they are used for SMS and playing games. One of the interviewee said that if someone has an Iphone kids do not get their hands out of it. Games that they are playing are already implemented on the phone so our planned bluetooth sharing is usefull.
We also collected new idea conserning content of the application. Cricket is really popular and universal cartoon characters were also suggested example Disney etc. Language option English/Urdu at the beginning of the application would be a good feature. Application could be improved so that there will be different levels so that it will get more and more difficult.
Parents that are out target customers would be interested to get the application for the kids as it is more usefull for kids that just to play snake game. Kids are also really motivated to learn English so they will probable use the application if it will be intresting.

Interview summary 25.11
User testing was made with four 12 to 13 old kids. Testing was performed in Lauttasaaren ala-aste at 25.11.
Here are the results of our questionnaires:
Conclusion
Overall kids were really attracted to the application and seem to have really much interest of the project. At the start of the testing usability of the application was not in the good level. After giving some instructions to the kids they really got in to the application and there were no problems in the usability.
The content of the application (pictures) was not enough clear in every situation and there was some confusions concerning the image on the screen. Difficulty of the questions vary depending of the functions that they were using, and also according to their English skills. Choosing seem to be easier function than the spelling. While they were playing spelling idea of the application seem to really work and kids really had to thing the right answer.
One problem that came up was that some of the users did not have the courage to answer wrong. For the final version answering should be more “easy” so that you can answer wrong without think over the consequences in a reasonable extend.
