‘ELC’ Homestay
For students from 18 years old.
‘ELC’ homestay availability is limited. On request students are placed in carefully selected host families up to 30 mins from ELC by bus. You can expect warm hospitality and a welcoming environment to ensure your stay and welfare is always considered, particularly an awareness of cultural differences and customs.
These arrangements provide opportunities to practise and increase the rate of progress in English Language Learning – “If you don’t speak you don’t eat!”
Politeness is expected from you in return. Try to always say, “Please”, “Thank you”, “Excuse me”, “Good morning/ Afternoon/ Evening” – these are used a lot in the UK!
** Room , breakfast and dinner ( minimum stay 2 weeks ) – £210 per week.
For students from 18 years old.
