Homework?

I tutor one-on-one to adults. We meet once per week for 2 hours.  I sometimes give homework if the student seems motivated. One of my students has a goal of obtaining a GED so I do give homework. We have been working on an essay and I will send it home with the student to revise and expand. The student is quite motivated and has enjoyed writing and revising. Another student, when given homework, typically does not do it, so I discontinued assigning it and simply encourage reading and pronunciation practice.  For students who are adept with technology, I sometime send emails to word lists on quizlet for pronunciation and vocabulary practice.

I assign homework most every day. My class is for students who are high level and who want to go on to college, so they need to get used to homework, and they do appreciate it. The homework varies depending upon what we're working on. Usually it's reading an article, writing a summary or an essay, or listening to and answering questions about a TED Talk.

I assign home work to our students if they have the time, interest, and ability to work independently. Most do want as we meet  only two times a week for 2 hours/ class. Upper level students usually work on test prep materials as they plan to get a GED or pass the college placement test. We assign listening activities for listening /speaking students;listening to  CD's that come with the books we use or online listening activity that can be accessed from our DE component.
