Abstract: In 2021, Chinese authorities introduced a set of guidelines to ease the burden of excessive homework and off-campus tutoring for students undergoing compulsory education (the “Double Reduction” policy). As an effective extension of classroom teaching, homework can promote the development of students' personality and core literacy. Research on homework at home and abroad is mainly based on empirical studies, and under the policy of “Double reduction”, this article reviews domestic and foreign researches on English homework design in compulsory education, focusing on the design and correction of homework, homework teaching, homework reduction, and homework reform. And homework research tends to shift from intellectual education to moral education.
