We study the homogenization of a parabolic equation with oscillations in both space and time in the coefficient a((x/()),(t/²)) in the elliptic part and spatial oscillations in the coefficient ((x/())) that is multiplied with the time derivative ∂_{t}u^{}. We obtain a strange term in the local problem. This phenomenon appears as a consequence of the combination of the spatial oscillation in ((x/())) and the temporal oscillation in a((x/()),(t/²)) and disappears if either of these oscillations is removed.
