“Double Reduction” Policy: Optimization and Research on Unit-Based English Homework in Junior High Schools

Under the “Double Reduction” policy framework, this study addresses the optimization of English unit homework design in junior high schools. Through systematic analysis of current practices and integration of theoretical strategies with practical cases, we propose five evidence-based design principles. Empirical results demonstrate that the optimized homework design significantly reduces students’ academic burden while enhancing learning motivation, assignment quality, and subject-specific literacy.
