The purpose of this research is to examine the reasons why some EFL students aged 18 have shortages of interests in doing their English written homework day-by-day. The study will show the background to my students‟ neglectful behaviour in Sámuel Szentannai Secondary School in Karcag. The data will be collected from the students and some teachers. I will use questionnaires and observe the students‟ homework doing habits day by day for four weeks. My first hypothesis is that most of the 18-year old students would like to get more autonomy in any fields of their lives but in language learning they tend to draw back and do as little as possible. They are too inactive to be autonomous learners which mean they do not care about their homework or their studies. If they do not understand a word or an expression, they do not use any dictionaries or other books to find out about the rules of language for themselves. The second hypothesis is that through investigating my students‟ habits of doing homework I can get closer to their language learning customs and I can get to know their autonomy.
