About this exam
The Praxis English to Speakers of Other Languages (5362) is a teacher-licensure assessment for candidates preparing to teach English learners, including multilingual learners, in U.S. schools. States may require it for an ESOL endorsement or related credential, but requirements and accepted tests differ by jurisdiction; it is not a general college-admission exam. Check your state education agency and the ETS Praxis website to confirm whether 5362 applies to your license route, as well as the current score requirement and registration details.
The exam has 120 selected-response questions and a two-hour testing time. It assesses foundations of ESOL instruction and English learner development, second-language acquisition, linguistic foundations of English, instructional planning and strategies, and assessment. Phonology and pronunciation instruction are among the areas to review. Effective preparation means understanding key concepts and applying them to teaching situations, not only memorizing definitions. Use the current ETS study materials to check the test specifications, then review weaker topics and build familiarity with the question format through timed practice.

- Review the official ETS 5362 study materials and map their test specifications to a study schedule, giving extra time to your least familiar areas.
- Study second-language acquisition and English language systems together: connect learner-development concepts to phonology, pronunciation, and classroom instruction.
- Use timed selected-response practice, then review why each answer is right or wrong; revisit instructional planning and assessment concepts that cause repeated errors.
