Oral Homework Organization Students’ Interest 曹晓英 自贡市荣县一中 [Instract] The present study presents a detailed report of a project implemented to solve the problem that most of my students do not like doing the oral practice I assign them to do after class.

Secondly, some students had some difficulties in doing oral practice, so they hoped that they could do it after class under more concrete direction of the teacher. Thirdly, most students felt overloaded because of heavier homework assignments. The problem had been troubl
