No — you can record your final assessment video in your first language, even if it is not English.

Use the language you teach best in #

The purpose of the appraisal is to assess how you lead the class: your postures, pacing, expression, interaction, storytelling and safety. If you are more confident and natural in another language, that can help you show your best teaching.

Feedback is in English #

Jaime’s feedback video is provided in English. We have successfully assessed teaching in many languages, including Danish, German, French, Spanish, Portuguese, Punjabi, Korean, Japanese, Dutch and Czech.

Add context if helpful #

If the story or an important instruction differs substantially in translation, include a brief English note with your private submission. Follow the instructions in the Certification module.

Keep the submission private #

Upload through the private link in the Campus and obtain appropriate consent for anyone shown, especially children.
