For example, the satisfactory amount, difficulty level and the diversified forms of the English homework, together with the teachers’ careful and hard work when checking the homework, but the most impressive one is the individual tutoring of students’ oral English during lunch break by their own teachers.

Communication between teachers and their students on written homework is also not close to satisfaction, especially for a boarding school. In the end, there are some suggestions and strategies for all the processes of English homework management in Junior High School, including homework design, communication, appraisement and feedback.Due to the author’s limited knowledge and ability, there are inevitably several shortcomings.
