Moreover, the diploma orientation of teachers has risen from technical secondary schools to colleges or universities.Either English majors or nonEnglish majors, English is an obligatory course. According to Requirements on College English Teaching (on trial), issued by Ministry of Education, the aim of college English teaching is to foster students’ integrative skills of English, especially listening and speaking skills, with which they can effectively exchange information either in oral or written form in their future work and social munication. Meanwhile, it is important for teachers to promote college students’ autonomous learning ability and overall literacy level to meet the needs of the economic development and international munication.However, time for classroom teaching is rather limited. At present, college English has only 4 periods per week. But time for extracurricular learning is far more than that of classroom teaching. Professor Zhao Zhongde points out that, in China, the key to successful English learning lies in afterclass learning (Zhao Zhongde, 2022). In other words, if the students are only exposed to English in class, learning effect can not be promoted and language ability can not be formed. That is to say, students have to spend a lot of time doing extra work after class. On the face of it, homework plays an important role in the process of teaching and learning. It occupies a large part of teachers’ and students’ life。 yet it is seldom researched empirically in the academic field. On one hand, this paper discusses how to help the students to extend classroom teaching and acquire broader knowledge through the research in the implementation and evaluation of extracurricular assignment (henceforth, EA). What is more 2important is to make full use of extracurricular learning to improve students’ interest in English learning, upgrade their overall quality and foster the awareness of autonomous learning and lifelong learning. On the other hand, in the implementation of EA, the students should be responsible for their own learning, and the teacher should consider how to instruct and monitor correctly, how to foster and develop students’ autonomous learning ability. The teacher’s role should not be confined in classroom, but also work outside classroom. SignificanceAs we know, English learning is not restricted in class, and outofclass learning also plays a very important part. Especially for college students, their class time is very limited, so they had to depend on their outofclass learning to improve their English Learning. English EA is one important ponent of English education in college. In fact, it is a natural extension of inclass lecturing, because the materials covered in lectures must be solidified and developed through EA. First, EA can provide a natural environment for students to use English, thus creating a seamless connection between learning and using. Second, EA can help identify the learning need of individual students, create a riskfree environment for students to try different learning styles, help teachers to give students psychological assistance, strengthen teacherstudent relationships, enhance independence, encourage collaboration among students, and broaden students’ knowledge horizon. Third, along with inclass lecturing, extracurricular activity can nurture a curiosity in pursuing new knowledge
