Homework has long been treated as a non-negotiable in language education—but what if it’s time to rethink it? In this episode, we take a deep, honest look at the role homework plays in language learning, questioning long-standing assumptions and exploring what actually helps learners grow. From cognitive load and motivation to autonomy and emotional safety, this conversation challenges educators to move beyond tradition and toward intention. If you’ve ever wondered whether homework truly supports language acquisition—or quietly undermines it—this episode is for you.
