I realized some students get really confused about doing homework or class preparation.
•Why does that happen?
•Why do some students take it as a burden?
•How can I help them understand the explanation of class preparation and doing homework in a better way?
I also realized students do mix up information! The teacher has to be very clear on instructions. Here are a few tips I found in a really good ESL article on the net:
• Emphasize what you said – ask one or two students to say what you’ve assigned.
• Write the instructions on the board.
• Tell them about the importance of doing it. What they will benefit from doing homework and preparing lessons beforehand.

Read the entire article "Some thoughts on Homework" by Prentice H. Berge on ESL Cafe's Idea Cookbook:
