Homework is good for students in improving their knowledge after studying the material at school. For some students homework is very annoying, but for some other students, homework is needed to applicate the knowledge that they have studied.

According to Jeremy Harmer, “Teachers sometimes give out homework tasks with no special enthusiasm, students don’t always do it and teachers don’t especially enjoy marking it”.

Make it funMake it fun

Some students are much more likely to be engaged if the tasks are varied, and if the teacher tries to make them fun.

We can give out homework tasks in envelopes or send them in email,

We can have students do some serious things, but include some slightly crazy tasks too,

Homework will then become something that students want to be involved in.

Some teachers have difficulty in working up any enthusiasm for setting and marking homework, and students sense it.

When the homework is given to the teacher on time, she/he has to mark and hand it back. So students will get something like reward to engaged their interests in studying.

Teachers don’t let their students giving the homework without any corrections and feedback when it handed-back.

It is often a good idea to get students to correct each other’s homework, provided that this is done in supportive and cooperative way.

Support the students to do their homework and give some reward for them.
