*Be sure to check dates at multiple different sites as they all have different availability.

There are multiple sites online with flashcards to help you study. These are all based off the older version of the MTEL, but they will still help.

Other Study Tools
I would recommend studying from: Peregoy & Boyle (2012) Reading, Writing, and Learning in ESL: A Resource Book for Teaching K-12 English Learners. Also, study the WIDA performance definition levels. You will be expected to know what each level means, with reference to the name, not the number level.
