The main reason my family hosts exchange students is to provide a positive experience. Hosting students expands their understanding of diversity and the world, as well as the family hosting the student. We act as ambassadors to our country and provide a positive experience for the student as they learn about our culture.
Also, hosting exchange students count as a form of community service. This is because hosting exchange students broadens the community's diversity and culture.
foreign direct investment is that investment in which a foreign country invests in a host country.
Foreign Capital is the source,amount or amount of goods that is introduced in a host country by a foreign country. getting resources from another country or from outside the boundry of our country
Well I do not really know because you see that is why I am asking.
An MNC can affect its host country by providing it with more jobs and work opportunities for its people. However it can take many resources from its host country.
It is attractive to invest in the United States because the government helps businesses that fail here. If a foreigner starts a business here they may benefit from this process.
There are a number of foreign exchange student programs in the US. One of the leading programs is AFS Intercultural Programs USA which has been running for 65 years. They provide help for students going abroad and people wishing to host a foreign student. Full details are available on their extensive website.
I believe that most TRUE foreign exchange students live with VOLUNTEER host families. If the families receive any payment at all it is usually only for reimbursement for the student's food and other basic necessities.
in most places it's around 15-16
It is very hard hosting a foreign exchange student. Especially if they are selfish, rude, ignorant, annoying, and down right stupid like mine was. She never said please or thank you, she stole a box of tampons from us (they are suppose to buy their own toiletries), she never offered anything to us (even though we offered her a home to live in), she has low C's and never understands our simplest sentences, and she talked crap about us to her friends on the phone.. IN ENGLISH.
One of the most rewarding experiences a family can have is to act as a host for an exchange student. Exchange students come from foreign countries all around the world and are paired up with a host family for several months or sometimes longer. While they are here in the United States, they become part of the family that has agreed to act as sponsor. Most of the time, the exchange students are of High School age and the host family has at least one child that is approximately the same age as the visiting young man or lady. The parents are responsible for the health and well being of the exchange student just as they must look after their own child or children. Language differences can sometimes be a problem, but more often than not, the exchange student speaks English or the host family is conversant in the native language of the exchange student. The agencies that make arrangements for this international make a considerable effort to match students with the most appropriate families possible. The biggest adjustment that both the exchange student must make is being able to adapt to a new culture. Parents can help by preparing some meals that are native to the student's homeland and being available to answer any questions or deal with any problems the exchange student may have assimilating in to American culture. Probably the most helpful way to help the visitor feel comfortable is to include him or her in all of the normal family activities. During the day there is school. The host's child or children will be by the side of the exchange student to help them throughout the school day. Little things like getting lunch or finding your way to class can be confusing to someone from a foreign country. Patience and friendliness are two qualities that a host should possess. While the exchange student may be quite capable of looking after him or her self, an accident or illness can occur at any time. Mothers, being mothers always know what to do when a child needs help. Whether the exchange student just needs some bed rest and a bowl of chicken soup or they have to go to the hospital, the host parents should be able to provide the right care and advice. The longer the exchange student is around the better the chance that a close relationship will flourish. Soon, the student may become almost like a member of the family. When the time comes to go, the relationship does not suddenly end. The parents, family and exchange student may create a life-long bond and keep in touch for many years to come.
A student who travels to a destination in the world and studies there as part of the school and lives with a host family for a designated amount of time. . . (:

If I was going to host an exchange student I would go online and Google it. Also I can contact the organization United Studies Student Exchange. You can contact them by going online at unitedstudies.org You can also contact them toll free at (877) 500-1195. Another contact method is by mail at United Studies Student Exchange106 Ridgeway, Suite C Hot Springs National Park, Arkansas 71901-7100. I would contact by phone or online personally and i would use this organization to host an exchange student.
Host families of exchange students are expected to treat them as a member of the family and not as just a visitor. Ideas and cultural norms are exchanged in everyday life between the two parties. Host families are also not expected to be paid to host a student, but can be claimed as a charitable donation on one's federal income tax return.
To become an exchange student first someone has to choose a country they wish to visit and find an agency that runs an exchange program there. After a reputable agency is chosen the student will have to make sure they meet all admission requirements. Once accepted the student will have to have the financial resources for tuition, travel, and living expenses. Finally a host family must be chosen and the exchange program can begin.
From what I can tell, hosting exchange is when you host something or someone in return for some kind of compensation. This includes things like websites or foreign students.
The method to determine the "best" foreign exchange student program will vary as widely as there are programs and exchange students. I will attempt to present several factors that should be considered when determining the best. * How long has the program been around? * What type of organization is the program - foundation, trust, company, etc.? * Does the program have a "web presence" such that information about the company and its programs be quickly accessed? * How many foreign partners does the program have? * Does the program handle Department of State grants? * What benefits does the program provide to Host Schools? * Is the program full listed by the CSIET Board of Directors (who encourage organizations to administer their foreign exchange programs according to the highest possible standards and to permit the Evaluation Committee to accurately and fairly reflect its conclusions - as of 4/2009 there were 68 such programs). See http://www.csiet.org/publications-resources/publications/listings.html * Does the program provide extensive resources available to the hosting school and host family? These are just a few factors. One big factor to consider no matter which program you consider is personality of the host family and the foreign exchange student. No matter how good a program may be, if the "fit" is wrong, the experience will not come anywhere close to how rewarding the experience should be.
