'Homustei' wa kaigaide homustei wo surutameni benkyo shiteiru gakusei no tameno hon de eigo jokyusha mukidesu. Totemo yakunitatsu saito eno rinkuya renshumondai ga haitteiru burogu mo isshoni tsuitekimasu. Good luck! Recently graduated from university, 24 year old Sumiko Kichida has her whole life ahead of her. Rather than throwing her life away for her career or by becoming a Japanese housewife, Sumiko takes the road less travelled. Her plan to improve her English by going on a year-long homestay in Vancouver goes completely haywire. Sumiko is suddenly on her own, forced to use her very basic English skills with nobody looking after her. Embracing what the Universe has put in front of her and with her lively spirit of adventure, Sumiko encounters people and situations which propel her English skills to new heights. But the most wonderful aspect of her trip is the unexpected romance that takes her life in an entirely new direction. This book helps prepare ESL students for a homestay in Canada. It is written in natural English, so it will be extremely challenging for ESL students. However, it will reinforce some strategies which help activate and improve conversational English as well as introduce cultural information, idioms and useful vocabulary. A link to a blogsite is provided with the book, to expand upon the material presented in the novel, at the user's discretion.
