Students
live with Japanese host families in the Kôbe-Ôsaka
area and generally take morning and evening meals
with the host family through-out their stay in Japan.
A major value of the homestay is that it provides
students with the opportunity to closely interact
with and learn from host country nationals. In addition
to taking students beyond the public face of the Japanese
people, the contact with everyday Japanese language
in a natural setting facilitates student's understanding
of the culture and enhances language learning.
