TExES Bilingual Education Supplemental (164)

The TExES Bilingual Education Supplemental (164) is a Texas educator certification exam for teachers seeking to demonstrate knowledge needed to support bilingual learners. It is relevant to educators pursuing bilingual certification through an eligible Texas certification route; the exam is a certification assessment, not an admissions test. Passing it is one part of the certification process, and candidates should confirm current eligibility and application requirements with the Texas Education Agency and their certification program.

TExES Bilingual Education Supplemental exam content covers bilingual education foundations and program models, curriculum goals and instructional planning, language acquisition and development, and cross-linguistic transfer. Candidates should be ready to apply these ideas to instructional decisions and the needs of bilingual students, rather than rely on memorizing terminology alone. The test uses selected-response questions in a computer-based appointment. For current test structure and policies, review the official TExES test page and preparation materials before planning a study schedule.
