ELS Language Centers in DeKalb is looking for people interested in providing international students with housing for the 2012-2013 academic school year. Host homes will be compensated by ELS with a $600 stipend every four weeks for hosting international students.

Host homes are required to provide students with their own bedrooms and be within a 45-minute commute to NIU. No more than two international students are allowed per house at a time.

Because ELS students come to the United States from all regions of the world to increase their knowledge of the English language, English must be the primary language spoken in the home. In addition, host homes are responsible for providing breakfast and dinner for the students.

For more information, contact ELS homestay provider Leslie Shive at (815) 753-9546 or lshive@niu.edu.
