4 Analysis and Discussion

4.1 A Brief Introduction to the Chapter
In the previous chapter , the author has mentioned that, the data of this studycomes from three different parts, they are the English teachers, the students’homework list and the students’ parents. And in this chapter, the author will showthe results which come from the questionnaire observation as well as theinterviews, at the same time, in this chapter the author also found out the answersof the research questions in the whole study. The author demonstrated the result inthree different perspectives , the study on the teachers, students’ homework listand the parents’ views. According to the results from the thirty-two teachers, the author got that all of theteachers would assign homework to their students. At the same time, according to theLeo van Lier’s ‘ gardening in a gale’ theory, we know that the teachers really shouldassign homework to the students. The ‘gardening in a gale’ theory points to a realproblem of all foreign language learning and to a lesser extent also the learning ofacademic and formal registers of the native language. This is mentioned in theprevious chapter , if the gap between what is done in the classroom, and what is doneoutside the classroom, is too great, then the possibilities of learning anything at all arevery seriously impaired. At the same time, a gap can also occur when students feelthat the classroom does not give adequate help in facing tasks outside that classroomwhich appear insurmountable.
