How it's used
Refers specifically to tasks meant for practice or skill development rather than just mandatory homework. It often appears in academic or creative contexts, such as music or art lessons, where the focus is on honing a craft. While interchangeable with 功課 in many school settings, it carries a slightly more formal or technical nuance.

Common mistake
Do not confuse this with 功課, which is the general term for all school homework. Using 習作 to refer to a massive project or a general pile of schoolwork can sound slightly unnatural or overly specific.
