我校“四動課堂”的基本特點是：1.它能夠充分彰顯小班化課改理念，保障小班化課堂教學的獨有品質。2.它本質上是動力課堂，有助于真正激發學生的求知熱情，促進其個性發展和學業進步。3.從課堂結構——教學過程規劃方面來看，它符合小班化課堂教學的基本特征，是結構優化的小班化課堂。4.它是對課堂師生主體間關系的合理重構，能夠凸顯以生為本的小班化教育理念。

本文將結合高中英語教學實例闡述四動課堂在小班化背景下高中牛津英語課堂中的運用。

Step 4： Conclusion

設計說明：按照文章結構，對每一部分進行細讀品味。通過回答問題的方式使每個孩子在問題的驅動下積極思考并向文章尋求答案;在每一部分結尾進行總結，使孩子們的思維產生碰撞，小組互動起來，產生靈感，深入滲透，形式多樣，層層遞進，使每個孩子對英語的發展史都有了明確的認識，提高了課堂效率。

借助小班化優勢，讓學生自由組合，把全班分成5組，以小組為單位采取競爭的方式促動學生積極思考并回答問題，回答對即為本組掙一分，最后得分最高者獲得一等獎，每個積極回答問題的孩子都會得到獎勵。這樣調動每個孩子的學習積極性和團隊意識，提高學生的參與度。
