Is the 'ı' at the end of 'yapmadığını' the accusative of "söyledi" (i.e it is what is being told)?

My stab at it put the teacher nearer to his verb. I think this is wrong but can you tell me why? I also skipped senin.
Ödevlerini yapmadığını öğretmen söyledi.

I don't think it should be considered wrong (you could try reporting it). It's an uncommon alternative. The word directly before the predicate (the verb in this case) focuses emphasis on itself. So your sentence is like "The teacher said that you did not do your homework.".
Not using senin is acceptable & natural; though it does create ambiguity since yapmadığını can also mean "that (s)he hasn't done".

Adding to what Selcen said, dedi corresponds to "said," and söyledi & -dik together correspond to "said that." So you would use dedi if the sentence had been, "The teacher said, 'You did not do your homework.'"

I think -dik will always be followed by "söylemek" and not "demek". I don't have a better explanation at the moment :(
Why does homework have to be plural here? i.e. why is ödevini marked as wrong?

öğretmen dedi ki senin ödevin yapmadın
does this sentence imply the same translation (the teacher said that you did not do you homework)

yapma - don't do
yapma - dik = yapmadiğ - is not done
yapma-diğ -in - your not doing respec. yapma -diğ -i - her/his not doing
yapma-diğ -in - i accusativ respec. yapma -diğ -i -(buffer)n - i
It is in accusative because of söyledi. It is the direct object of it. "He said .... your not doing"

Please can someone tell me why the -mIş suffix wouldn't be used on yapma- here, since it is what someone else said happened? Thank you!
We don't use -miş in sub clauses. You can say:
Ödevini yapmamışsın. Öğretmen öyle söyledi. (You apparently didn't do your homework. The teacher said so.)
