The individual oral is a 10-minute oral followed by five minutes of teacher questions. It is worth 20% of the student’s final mark at HL .
The individual oral addresses the following prompt: “Examine the ways in which the global issue of your choice is presented through the content and form of one of the works and one of the texts you have studied.” It’s important to remember that global issues have the following attributes: (a) they have significance on a wide/large scale; (b) they are transnational; (c) the impact is felt in everyday contexts.
Students should be allowed to choose any of the texts and works they have studied in the course. They should also choose their own global issue. Remember that you cannot use texts and works that you intend to use for any other assessment (HL Essay, Paper 2).
This assessment is based on the work students have carried out in their learner portfolios. Students investigate literary works, non-literary texts, and global issues during their course. For the individual oral, students select one extract each from a literary work and from a non-literary text that are representative of the global issue they have chosen. Each extract should not normally exceed 40 lines. Extracts may be complete texts. Students bring unannotated copies of their extracts to the individual oral.
The individual oral should be in the form of an argument that explores the global issue through the ways the extracts and entire text/work show and represent the issue. That is, students need to demonstrate the relationship between the textual construction of ideas and the global issue. Students should give roughly equal attention to both of their chosen extracts and text/work as a whole. That is why a body of work is necessary in the study of non-literary texts.
The IB will provide a form that students should use to create an outline of their presentation. Students have the opportunity, in advance of their oral, to write out a maximum of ten bullet points. These bullet points should be brief, and students should not read directly from their outline. The student brings both the outline and the unmarked extracts to the examination. The teacher will also have a copy of these extracts during the examination.
At least one week prior to the individual oral, students must share the extracts they intend to use in their individual oral with their teacher. Teachers must approve student extract choices before students can proceed with the assessment.
The individual oral is internally assessed. That is, your teacher will mark it. The IB externally moderates the oral. The IB will select a specific sample for moderation based on class scores submitted by your teacher. These samples will then be moderated by an IB examiner to ensure your teachers' marks are in line with IB assessment criteria and expectations. If the moderator's marks differ from your teacher's, the class marks may be adjusted.
***If there are disruptions to final exams due to Covid-19, there is a chance that all IOs will be externally assessed***
