2 Guiding Research Questions Within the American student- Spanish host family dynamic, what evidence of cultural transmission from student to host exists, if any? In what ways do host family members feel that the presence of American study abroad students has affected them? How do Spanish host families interpret and make meaning of their interactions with the U.S. students that they host? Jennifer Engel, Ph.D., (2012), University of South Carolina, Columbia, SC, USA
3 Context & Methodology Research sites: Granada & Valencia, Spain Phenomenological, qualitative study Focus groups, interviews & observations with host families Student focus groups; interviews with resident directors in Spain, France; cultural informant Jennifer Engel, Ph.D., (2012), University of South Carolina, Columbia, SC, USA

5 Positive Interpretations of the Hosting Experience Economically Culturally Magdalena: en mi caso, pues, te diré que es economico, porque he tenido que criar a mis hijas. Bueno, tenían 11 y nueve años y he tenido que educarlas, vestirlas, pues, todo. Entonces, ha sido una ayuda muy importante para mí. in my case, well, I will tell you that it is economic, because I had to raise my daughters. Well, they were 11 and nine years old and I had to educate them, dress them, well, everything. Anyway, it has been a very important help for me. Jennifer Engel, Ph.D., (2012), University of South Carolina, Columbia, SC, USA Marta: Yo tenía, con los americanos, tenía una sensación de que ellos eran, no sé, muy creídos de que lo suyo es lo mejor. Y no. He visto que no. O sea, que ellos eran, no sé, estrechos del mundo, y no. Cuando ya los tratas, ves que no. I had, with the Americans, I had a feeling that they were, I don t know, very arrogant about that theirs was the best. And no. I have seen that no. Or, that they were, I don t know, narrow minded about the world, and no. When you deal with them, you see that no [this isn t the case].
6 Positive Interpretations of the Hosting Experience Socially (94%) Gratifying & Enriching Feeling of Being Useful, Needed Companionship Youthful Energy & Fun Improved Quality of Life Jennifer Engel, Ph.D., (2012), University of South Carolina, Columbia, SC, USA Ana: Me dan vida. Me dan ilusion. Me siento realizada. Me siento una mujer que no estoy atrofiada. Me siento una mujer que soy jovial a pesar de mayor. Me meto en edad de ellos. Me aportan mucho, mucho, mucho bien. Mucho bien me aportan. They cheer me up. They give me hope. They make me feel fulfilled. I feel like a woman that is not wasting away. I feel like a woman that is happy in spite of being older. I get myself into their age group. They enrich me a lot, a lot, a lot. They enrich me a great deal.
7 Negative Interpretations of the Hosting Experience Problematic, Inappropriate Behavior And the feeling that one must put up with such behavior to maintain her job Lack of Freedom to Manage their Time/Devote Time to Other Activities Lack of Personal/Family Privacy Irene: Por mucho que tú quieras normalizar y naturalizar la cosa, no es igual que si vivieras tú solo. Eso está claro. Cosa que es buena también, por un lado, pero a veces Cuando se acaba, se necesita un período de estar solos la familia juntos sin nadie. No matter how much you want to normalize and naturalize it, it is not the same as if you were living alone. That is for sure. Something that is good also, on one hand, but at times. When it is finished, you need a period of being alone the family together without anyone else. Jennifer Engel, Ph.D., (2012), University of South Carolina, Columbia, SC, USA
8 Self-Perceived Roles of Host Family Local Guide Isabel would explain: lo primero la ubicación de donde estamos, no? Les dejo un plano, un plano para que no se pierdan. Solemos ir a la parada del autobús, ver un poco los alrededores, como están. first the location of where we are, right? I give them a map, a map so that they don t get lost. We usually go to the bus stop, to see the surroundings a bit, what they are like. Beyond the Classroom Teacher Irene: Soy maestra, porque cuando tienen que hacer un trabajo ellos, me preguntan. El otro día dice [la estudiante], Tengo que hacer un trabajo sobre una persona importante española. Y le dije, Pues, mira, hazlo de Mariana Pineda, una figura muy importante granadina, luchadora por la revolución... Y entonces, siempre intento que estudien algo de cultura, siempre. I am a teacher, because when they have to do a project, they ask me. The other day she [the student] says, I have to do a project about an important Spanish person. I told her, Well, look, do it on Mariana Pineda, a very important figure from Granada, a fighter for the revolution And anyway, I always try to get them to study something about the culture, always. Jennifer Engel, Ph.D., (2012), University of South Carolina, Columbia, SC, USA
9 Self-Perceived Roles of Host Family Cultural Mediator Aureli: Para entender el porqué de las cosas. Muchas veces vienen y si no saben por qué y dicen, Por qué hay? Y luego, pues, si están conviviendo, pues, entonces, sí que a lo mejor llegan a entenderlas. Family/Mother Carolina: desde el primer día, se lo digo que yo voy a tratarlas como si fueran mis hijos. Si hay que alabarles algo, se lo voy a alabar. Si hay que darlo un beso, un abrazo, se lo voy a dar. Y si hay que regañarles, si hay que llamarles la atención por algo, se lo voy a llamar. To understand the why of things. Many times they come and they don t know why and they say, Why is there -? And later, well, if they are living with you, well, then, at least they come to understand things. since the first day, I tell them that I am going to treat them as if they were my children. If they have to be praised for something, I m going to praise them for it. If they have to be given a kiss, a hug, I m going to give it to them. If they have to be scolded, if they have to be called out about something, I m going to call them out. Jennifer Engel, Ph.D., (2012), University of South Carolina, Columbia, SC, USA
10 Implications for Practice: Preparation of Students Advisement of Students: Who is a good candidate for host family living? What to expect in a host family environment? Preparation of Students: What cross cultural issues might encounter? How do others perceive American culture? What does it mean to represent American culture abroad? On-site Communication: How to convey the why behind culturally based choques (clashes)? What tools do students need to best manage choques effectively? Conveying the two-way nature of the relationship & students contributions to the experience. Less transactional and more transformational! Jennifer Engel, Ph.D., (2012), University of South Carolina, Columbia, SC, USA
11 Implications for Practice: Working with Host Families Screening & Selection of Host Families: Require references; snowball recruitment; in-home interviews. Management of Family Expectations: Establish clear norms & procedures, communicate in writing. Provide host family handbook with recommendations, resources. Pre-student Arrival Orientation for New Families: Training on what to expect, issue resolution, etc. Reinforces written documentation. Provides in-depth explanation & opportunities for discussion. Utilize seasoned host family members as experts. Jennifer Engel, Ph.D., (2012), University of South Carolina, Columbia, SC, USA
12 Implications for Practice: Working with Host Families continued Ongoing Communication & Training: Training may address: student expectations & goals; cross-cultural awareness & communication; American culture; generational differences Acknowledging host family roles & scope of their influence on student learning & development Opportunity to complete end-of-term evaluation Intentional Incorporation of Host Families into Organization: Recognizes partnership, their contributions; emphasizes their value Jennifer Engel, Ph.D., (2012), University of South Carolina, Columbia, SC, USA
13 From Theory into Practice James P. Benn (2012), ACCENT International, Paris, France

16 Results of Evaluations: Roles & Expectations Based on 37/80 evaluations returned in Spring Why did you decide to live in a home stay? 40% = program requirement 35% = to improve language skills 24% = to learn about French culture James P. Benn (2012), ACCENT International, Paris, France
17 Results of Evaluations 2a. Before you arrived in Paris, what role did you expect the home stay to play in your study abroad experience, if any? 37% = expected help with Paris, France, and French 16% = had no, few, or vague expectations 10% = had simple expectations provide a place to stay as well as conversation in the native language. 2b. Has that idea changed? 2c. If so, how? 32% = Yes 19% = No 49% = did not answer the question 14% = home stay experience surpassed expectations 11% = home stay experience disappointed them James P. Benn (2012), ACCENT International, Paris, France
18 Results of Evaluations 3. As the student, what do you feel is your role in this experience? 8% (3 in 37) answered this question: My part was to share and discuss cultural differences. Learn as much as possible Be helpful. James P. Benn (2012), ACCENT International, Paris, France

I really don t want to live in any secluded or isolated part of the city. I really want to improve my French and a friendly, social family is really important to me so I can feel comfortable speaking casually with my family. Internet access is also really important to me.

What type of home stay experience do we want to provide? 3. What role does the host family play in the student experience? 4. From a risk-management perspective: what safety precautions do we consider essential? 1. Why would families host an American student? 2. What are the options on-site? (Demographics, economics, social) 3. How can we maximize that role? 4. Do safety precautions in the US mirror those in the host culture? 5. What are the legal implications of the home stay experience? 5. What are the on-site laws in regards to the relationship between the organization and the host family?
