Center Information
ELS/Ashland位於加州邊界北方的Southern Oregon University校園內。由於愛旭蘭市(Ashland)地處奧勒岡州波特蘭市( Portland, Oregon)與舊金山(San Francisco)之間，兩個城市都是週末旅遊的好去處。愛旭蘭市每年舉辦著名的奧勒岡莎士比亞節(Oregon Shakespeare Festival)，該慶典每年吸引400,000名觀光客前來奧勒岡州南部一遊。環繞城市四周的群山，無論從城市的那一處看去都美不勝收，還提供了滑雪、泛舟等戶外活動。

Center Staff
Jodi Weber
Hello from ELS Ashland! I am the Center Director. I have an M.A. in Teaching English as a Second Language. Working with students from all over the world is so much fun and such a privilege. Learning another language is a huge challenge. It’s always rewarding to see students’ progress. Grammar and reading are my favorite aspects of language. When I’m not working, I love being outdoors – usually riding my bike, working in my garden, or (in the winter) snowshoeing.
Ronda Sheffield
As Academic Director at ELS/Ashland, I’ll help you with your placement and classes. I look forward to welcoming new students to beautiful southern Oregon. I have an M.A. in TESL and have taught for many years both in the U.S. and in other countries. I am enthusiastic about helping international students reach their English goals. In my free time, I enjoy skiing and sailing with family and friends.

I am the registrar. I grew up in Vermont with its unique New England culture and received my degree in ethics from Wesleyan University in Connecticut.

The students and staff make working at ELS Ashland a pleasure. Come and see me if you need help during your stay here.
