![]() ![]() Sometimes learners will go through these exercises of their own accord, thinking, “If I do all of these exercises the teacher gave me or I found in this highly recommended book, I will learn the language”. However do consider, that most times the homework is determined by someone else (teacher, book, etc), not the learner. You may believe that you can build your language skills by doing homework (or study). For some subjects this may work, but nor for language. Learning a language so you can use it takes a lot more than that. Instead, mostly, the homework asks learners to engage only a limited part of themselves, mainly their intellect or memory. The reason why a lot of homework does not help learners to be able to use the language is because they don’t call on the “whole” person. There are some people who could learn a language doing virtually anything but most people need to be more careful if they are going to end up speaking a new language, not just being good at filling in gaps, memorizing words or answering set questions. Over the years I have seen so many students waste countless hours on language learning homework which really has little likelihood of helping them to produce the results they are looking for.
