Students will read the text "What is Anime" which will lasts 3 pages. While reading the text they'll see some highlighted words which are some of the target A2 words at Bahcesehir University Prep School. Studens will be asked to click on these words to see their definitons and parts of speech of the words below the text and hear the pronunciation of them at the same time.

Practice (4-5 minutes) • To concept check and prepare the students for more meaningful practice

Students will answer questions about the words they have just been exposed to. They will receive immediate feedback when they click on the correct option or incorrect option. If they click on the incorrect option, they'll hear an evil sound which seems to have come from an anime character placed on the page. Besides,they'll also see a cross image. If they click on the correct answer, they'll hear a win sound and see a tick image next to the options. After this stage, students will have practiced the words they learned.

Practice 2 (4-5 minutes) • To concept check and prepare the students for more meaningful practice

Students will be asked to read the questions and drag and drop the words in the correct blank in these questions. If the students drop the correct word, the word will stay on the blank. If they drop the incorrect word, the words will go back to their original places. This means that students will get feedback while they are doing the activity.

Practice 3 (7-10 minutes) • Analysis of the context

Students will be asked to read the text again in detail and answer the multiple choice questions according to the text. Students will receive immediate feedback if they click on the correct or incorrect answer. If they click on the correct answer, a tick image will show up. If they click on the incorrect answer, they'll receive a cross image. Therefore, the students will have a chance to change their answers by seeing their errors.
