Choosing the Right Stimulus: The Foundation of your IO

The quality of the estímulo visual (visual stimulus) you use sets the stage for your entire Individual Oral (IO).
A strong imagen (image) allows you to demonstrate your habilidades lingüísticas (language skills) and comprensión cultural (cultural understanding).
If the material is too simple, it limits your vocabulario (vocabulary) and makes it harder to get a high score.
In Spanish ab initio, the estímulo (stimulus) is always a visual element like a fotografía (photograph) or a póster (poster).

Definition

el estímulo visual

a visual image, such as a photo or advertisement, used to prompt your speaking during the IO

Definition

el tema

one of the five core themes of the IB syllabus that the stimulus must relate to

Note

In Spanish ab initio, you do not use long literary texts or books for your IO.
Your focus is entirely on describing and discussing a visual image.

Essential Requirements: What Makes a Valid Stimulus

Connection to the Themes
1. The image must clearly link to one of the five temas (themes) of the Spanish ab initio course.
2. These themes include Identidades (Identities), Experiencias (Experiences), Ingenio humano (Human ingenuity), Organización social (Social organization), and Compartir el planeta (Sharing the planet).
Minimal Text
1. Any texto (text) included in the image must be very brief.
2. The words must be in español (Spanish), not English or another language.
Unseen Material
1. You will not see the specific estímulo (stimulus) before your official tiempo de preparación (preparation time).
2. Your profesor (teacher) will select the image for you on the day of the exam.

Example

Una foto de una familia comiendo paella (A photo of a family eating paella) relates to the theme of Experiencias or Identidades.
Un anuncio sobre el reciclaje (An advertisement about recycling) relates to the theme of Compartir el planeta.
