🎤 What Is the Language A Individual Oral?
The Language A Individual Oral (IO) is a major internal assessment in the IB Diploma Programme. It tests your ability to analyze two texts in relation to a global issue—delivered as a 10-minute spoken presentation. You'll be graded on four main criteria:
- Understanding and Interpretation
- Analysis and Evaluation
- Organization
- Language Use
High scores demand clear structure, insightful commentary, confident delivery, and fluency.

Step 4: Review Your Transcript and Feedback
Check the AI’s feedback on:

Tweak your script and delivery based on suggestions. Re-record up to 3–4 times to see your progress.
