 Although
homework makes up a significant part
of the primary school learner's workload,
it is one area that has not been addressed
adequately either through ELT publications
or Malaysian teacher training programmes.
The teacher's practice of giving homework
seems to be shrouded by beliefs and
practices that need to be articulated
and documented. This workshop sets out
to explore the role of homework in Maximising
students' language learning opportunities.

practices in order to develop materials
