Pass the TExES ESL Supplemental for test #154 by Vickie Hester, Ph.D., is an excellent book designed to provide excellent content by including a detailed chapter for each competency, as well as very helpful study methods and test taking strategies in the style of all of the Pass the TExES books. This book is around 160 pages in length. This new edition of Pass the TExES ESL Supplemental addresses the identification of standards, domains, and competencies required of ESL teachers for certification to teach in the public school classrooms in Texas. It also includes a comprehensive breakdown of the English Language Proficiency Standards (ELPS) and the state proficiency level indicators for language learners. As the ELPS requirements become more infused and regulated within our education system, the material presented here will become increasingly more vital, not just for TExES preparation, but also for teachers (of all subjects) throughout the state. The material included for study is aligned with the Texas Essential Knowledge and Skills (TEKS) in ESL education and the English Language Proficiency Standards (ELPS) as well as nationally, (No Child Left Behind).
