University Language
Institute is a Christian intensive English school, supplying 25 hours
of English language instruction per week. In addition to our primary
purpose of providing excellent English language instruction, we feel
that an integral part of our program is to provide a safe, loving
environment for our students.
Students pay $650 a month directly to their host family.
As a Host Family,
Your Responsibilities Include:
- Providing
transportation to and from school every day
- Providing meals for
the student
- Providing a private
bedroom for the student
- Spending time with the
student
Students need to feel
welcome in your family by what they observe and hear. Spending time with a student
communicates that he/she is wanted and accepted in your home.
Take the Time to Make each Student Feel at Home With
You by:
- Helping the student
practice English through conversation
- Including the student in your life
- Inviting the student to join you for family
activities
- Talking about their school day
- Asking the student to
help with cooking a meal
- Helping the student
with their questions about English
- Hanging out together.
How
to Become a Homestay Family:
- Send the completed homestay family application to ULI.
- ULI will call you to make an appointment for a home
visit and interview.
- ULI will contact you if it is possible that a
student may be placed in your home for the upcoming session.
Applying to our homestay
family program does not guarantee that you will host a student.
Do not rely on hosting ULI students as a source of
income. Generally, only one to three students request to live with a
homestay family each session. We do not recommend spending money to fix
up the student’s room unless you can afford it, and/or I have contacted
you about hosting a student for the next session.
Please call or E-Mail ULI if you have any questions about our homestay
family program. Our office hours are Monday through Friday, 9:00 a.m.
to noon and 2:00 p.m. to 4:30 p.m. |
