Abstract

Briefly, homework, tasks assigned by teachers that completed by students after class is a bridge of school education and family education. Moreover, homework which has been studied for many years at home and abroad is highly beneficial to the quality of English teaching and learning. The assignment of English homework is an integral part of teaching process in Junior high school. However, nowadays’ English education is more exam-oriented, and thus students are burden with the English homework. Therefore, it is necessary to do more studies to improve the assignment of English homework for Junior high school English classes. 

Here in this paper, using Fengtan middle school as an example, I collect the daily English homework assignments and hand out questionnaire for students to find out more effective ways to assign homework for students. Some suggestions are put forward. This study also specifies some basic notions, such as homework, assignment and presents the classifications of homework as well as the benefits and flaws of homework.
