The ESOL K–12 (047) exam is one of the Florida Teacher Certification Examinations (FTCE) listed on the FTCE/FELE program site, which is where the state publishes its tests and candidate resources. Candidates typically pursue it to add English for Speakers of Other Languages coverage to a Florida educator certificate or to prepare for teaching multilingual learners in K–12 settings, though the source text does not spell out certification rules, so confirm eligibility and requirements with the Florida Department of Education's Bureau of Educator Certification. The FTCE ESOL K-12 case studies are 5 cases and about 2,756 words.
