Speech Pattern Analysis for IB Orals: Identify Improvement Areas

Speech pattern analysis refers to the evaluation of how you speak during your IB oral assessment—including pacing, fluency, vocal tone, use of filler words, and structural flow.

It plays a critical role in scoring well in the IB Language A Individual Oral (IO) and Language B orals, as both assessments evaluate:

Clarity of communication
Organization of ideas
Effective use of language

AI tools like the RevisionDojo Oral Assessment Grader (Beta) help you measure and refine these patterns with detailed, real-time feedback.

🧠 Why Speech Pattern Analysis Matters for IB Scores

The IB rubric rewards students who:

Speak confidently and fluently
Use a clear, academic tone
Present ideas in a logical, well-paced manner
Avoid repetitive language and filler words

Speech pattern problems—like rushing, frequent pauses, or disorganized delivery—can drop your scores in Language Use, Organization, and Understanding & Interpretation.

📈 Example of AI Speech Analysis Output (RevisionDojo)

Imagine recording a 10-minute IO. The grader might return:

Pacing: 180 WPM (ideal for clarity)
Filler Words: 12 (above average – recommendation: reduce below 5)
Longest Pause: 7 seconds (suggestion: add transitions instead)
Structure: Intro – 1 min, Body – 8 min, Conclusion – 0.5 min (needs better timing on conclusion)

This kind of precise feedback lets you make data-driven adjustments to your speech.
