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 $550 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.
