Perceptions of Stakeholders, ELT Advisers, Teachers, and Learners Regarding Homework in Niamey District 5

This study was carried out in the inspectorate of the 5th district of Niamey (Niger). The objectives of the study were to find out the perceptions of stakeholders, ELT advisers, teachers, and learners about homework and how they impacted students’ academic achievement. To collect data, a quantitative method was adapted by setting a questionnaire in English for teachers and the ELT adviser, and another one in French for the 10th grade learners due to their low level in English language. Then, interview questions were set for qualitative research to two school administrators (a principal and a head teacher). The results showed that the learners’ satisfaction in the teachers' assigned purposes that were related to the learners' needs which, according to this study, refer to the preferences, amount, frequency, deadline, and feedback of homework assignments. However, a great part of learners' attitude was negatively affected due to some difficulties such as the environment, the motivation, and the relevance of certain activities. Therefore, some suggestions were proffered to help improve the teaching and learning of English in Niger in general.
