| Summary: | This study sought to investigate the homework practice and attitudes towards English
homework by lower form (Transition or Form One) and upper form (Form Four or
Form Five) students in five secondary schools in Kuching district. The aspects that the
study aimed to look into are the amount of time spent on homework in general and on
English homework, students' purposes of doing English homework, types of English
homework and types of feedback given by English teachers. The study was conducted
in cross-sectional survey research using questionnaires. A total of 197 respondents
were chosen from the five selected schools. The findings showed the amount of time
students spent on homework in general and on English homework was moderate. The
students had positive views towards purposes of doing English homework even
though their homework mostly involved traditional written tasks. They also had
positive attitudes towards English homework and there was no indication that their
attitudes differed in relation to genders, academic performance and level form of
students. |
