Abstract	The purpose of this article is to persuade English as a foreign language (EFL) teachers and teacher trainers that homework is indeed beneficial by presenting multiple examples of high-quality homework assignments, as Dettmers et al. (2010) found in mathematics. The argument here is that it is not the time spent on homework that matters in early foreign-language instruction, but rather the types of homework assignments--perhaps different from traditionally assigned practice activities-- that make learning more meaningful.
