The purpose of the study was to investigate the effect of homestay and contributing factors to second language learning of 13 Korean students in the U.S.A. They participated in 3 week summer homestay as a part of a 6-month TESOL certificate program in a U.S. university. They were given pre- and post-tests consisting of listening, speaking, reading, and writing. They were also required to complete a survey, journal, and storyboards about the homestay experience. The analysis results demonstrated that they tended to communicate with a certain member of the host family because of the person’s outgoing personality and that they were given proficiency-appropriate help for their English. There was an ignorable amount of score improvement in listening and reading. Speaking showed a small amount of score improvement and the fluency component of the speaking skill played an important role in elevating the score. Students acknowledged increased interaction with their American host families with their native country-related topics and current topics. The contexts that promoted interaction were mealtime, playing games, shopping with the host family, and helping the host family.
