Homestay accommodation in Cambridge is
part of the language student lifestyle,
providing not just the accommodation,
but also an insight of English family life.
Students learn quicker if their "home"
is also a "classroom" as well, where
integration into Cambridge Host Families also
becomes a teaching environment.
We
always like
to ask our Host Families in Cambridge
England UK the following
question. |
 |
|
|
|
"If
it were your son or daughter staying in
a Cambridge Host Family, what facilities and
family guidance would you like them to have? |
|
|
It seems
to answer most of the questions that
potential Homestay Cambridge Host Families have
very early on. We want our Host Families
not just to have a lodger, or someone
staying in their home for a while, but
also to try and integrate the Student
into the family unit as far as possible,
and become a virtual family member. If
we use this as the starting point, and
the Host family accept this, we are far
more likely to have a successful
Homestay experience for both
Host Families
and Students. |
|
|
We expect
the Student to be welcomed into the
family unit, sharing the facilities of
the home, just as any young person of
host family would, but it doesn't stop
there. The Students are invariably from
other countries and so the need is more,
as not only will they be learning the
English Language, but part of their
education is to learn and understand the
English culture. They cant do this in
isolation or just in the classroom, we
rely on our Host Families to make the
effort in schooling them and explaining
(sometimes the unexplainable!) the way
of English life. |
|
|
Being a
host family is enriching and rewarding.
As hosts you will see a dramatic
improvement in your Students spoken
English. Your student will benefit by
conversing in English in a relaxed home
and host family environment. |
