English language study homestay programs
GEOS English Language Colleges have certainly developed an enviable
reputation for providing students with a wonderful cultural experience
whilst at the same time ensuring that their educational goals are achieved.
GEOS Colleges offer an extensive range of long and part-time courses. In
fact, whatever a student's English needs are, they will be met- whether it
be the Cambridge Examinations, IELTS or TOEFL preparation.
What is a homestay program?
Homestay programs
are programs that allow you to spend time in someone's home in a foreign
country, usually by exchange students, language students, or those wanting
to travel on a small budget for an intercultural experience.
As a traveler, you contact hosts in advance of when you plan to visit and
request accommodations around a specific time period. The host accepts or
denies the request, then you exchange more details and contact information.
Some hosts will bend over backward to feed you and show you around town if
you want; others may not have the time to provide more than a bed and a
shower.
Individual countries often offer organized homestay programs that allow you
to stay with local families. These are sometimes commercial arrangements
that help families subsidize their salaries and are especially common in
former Soviet states, including Eastern Europe. In other countries the fee
just covers costs for food and transportation. The experience is much more
enriching than staying in a cheap motel, and you'll often get to sample
local specialties that are much more authentic that what you'd find in
restaurants. A good guidebook usually lists places to go for information on
these programs. It's worth checking with local tourism offices even if you
don't see anything listed.
Advantages of Homestay Programs
Homestay programs are a great way to meet locals on your trip, to immerse
yourself in the real conditions of a culture. It can be an enriching
experience for both parties and can save the traveler significant expenses,
especially in countries where lodging is expensive. It gives you a chance to
see how the locals live and to get an insider's perspective on the area. The
people you stay with often know the best local bargains, the most worthwhile
things to see and do, and the easiest way to get around. In places with
limited public transportation, your hosts will often pick you up from the
train station, bus station, or airport. Homestay programs are perfect for a
short-term stay on a tight budget, as well as a great opportunity to
experience another culture's life, customs and values. Another benefit is
that the programs are usually very flexible.

GEOS Cape Town Language Centre
http://www.geosct.co.za/ GEOS Cape Town Language Centre - Learn English in the beautiful city of Cape Town, South Africa.
Cape Town Language Centre encourages students to opt for the Homestay scheme, where students choose to live with a host family. The language and cultural benefits are enormous and valuable life-long friendships can be formed. Living in a Homestay is an ideal way of becoming familiar quickly with a new culture and environment, and there is greater progress in English as this is the main language in the homes. Due to the multicultural nature of South African society, these families are very diverse in their ethnic origin, religion, age, and family situation. We will do our best to find a homestay which matches the students interests and preferences.
All homestays are visited and carefully chosen by our Student Services Department to ensure quality accommodation for the students. In a homestay the student will be provided with a furnished single room, with breakfast and dinner on weekdays and three meals on weekends (if you are at home).
