c. Place of Doing English Homework
Doing English homework in school or home shows their attitude in completing English homework. A positive attitude is shown when the students completed English
homework at home because they tend to give their effort to complete English homework by themselves rather than the students who completed English homework at school before
English class began. The majority of the students confessed that they completed English homework at
home. Here are the statements of the students: I always do my English homework at home because I will
more concentrate Fanna AA, my translation. It is fun to complete English homework at home because if I
do not understand the material, I will ask my sister Nasya AA, my translation.
I prefer to do my English homework at home because I have plenty of time to complete my English homework rather
than at school or my friends‟ house Yasti AA, my translation.
The statements above show that above average group showed their positive attitude in completing English homework because they prefer to complete English homework at home
rather than at school before class began. The main reasons were they had a lot of time to complete English homework at home rather than in the school and they were more

23 word. The surprising statement came from Fanna. He explained that he never asked his friend
or sibling if he faced the difficulties. He used the internet and did his best. Meanwhile, negative attitude is shown by the students when they completed English homework at school
bef ore English class began to plagiarize their friends‟ homework because they forget to do
their homework or the English homework was too difficult to do at home. There are two different reasons from Junu and Damma:
I ever forgot to complete English homework, so I completed it in the school before class begins Junu BA,
my translation. Sometimes, I do not complete my English homework
because the assignment is too difficult for me. So, I do it in the school before English course begin Damma A,
my translation.
Many students who start studying with enthusiasm become disheartened when they discover that little has been accomplished. As a result, negative attitude is shown when some
of them did not have a desire to complete English homework. Therefore, this condition makes them complete English homework in school.
