As the demographics change in Texas, teachers must meet the challenge of educating limited English proficient (LEP) students. In order to meet this challenge, teachers must become certified in English as a Second Language (ESL). This training will prepare participants to take the TExES ESL Supplemental Certificate Exam (#154) while introducing teaching strategies that will help improve ESL student achievement. Join us as we review test frameworks, competencies and the content needed to prepare for the TExES English as a Second Language Certification Exam.
When is an English as a Second Language (ESL) Program required?
All LEP students for whom a district is not required to offer a Bilingual education program shall be provided an ESL program, regardless of the students' grade levels and home language, and regardless of the number of students.
Texas Administrative Code (TAC) (&89.1205 (d))
Each school year the number of limited English proficient students in Texas has increased as seen in the chart below.
