Speaker
Description
The presenters will outline a project that sought to better understand the homestay component of a year-long study abroad (SA) program for second-year university students. While data from interviews with eight participants revealed a divergence of experiences, three common narratives emerged: how expectations differed from reality, how they used coping strategies to negotiate difficulties, and how they felt included or excluded within their host family.
