Western Oregon University, in conjunction with AHA International and the Northwest Consortium on Study Abroad, offers two ESOL classes each summer in a Latin American country. The ESOL Summer Program was founded in Morelia, Mexico. Because of the current socio-political situation in Mexico, we have added the study site in Rosario, Argentina. Visit this cosmopolitan city, take Spanish classes, and take classes that are required for your ESOL endorsement!
