Homestays and ESL in England


At first I wasn't sure whether to write about homestays and ESL education here because it didn't fit my definition of "Educational Travel" or "Student Tours", but changed my mind. "Educational Travel" can have a broader meaning than I apply to it (students traveling with teachers), and I've always been a fan of homestay programs for the cultural exchange value. I used to teach ESL in Japan too. So, here is the profile for a homestay program in England worth checking out. Lorna Allen from Live and Learn Homestays Ltd sent me the following info. I wonder if they could handle a group of teenagers?
