Families are needed to provide a home for long and short-stay students ­— teenagers and adults.

Students can stay for either weeks, weekends or a full year.

The appeal has been made by EIL (Experiment in International Living), which has been giving students first-hand experiences of different cultures and languages since 1932.

All students must have their own bedroom, with a desk to study, although weekend-stay students can share with another student.

Host families are paid.
