About the IO
- How does the IB Spanish individual oral work?
- For Spanish B SL you get 15 minutes to prepare a visual stimulus linked to one of the five themes, present it for 3–4 minutes, answer follow-up questions for 4–5 minutes and then have a general conversation of 5–6 minutes. Ab initio is similar with a shorter presentation. At HL the stimulus is a literary extract.
- What are the five IB themes?
- Identities, Experiences, Human ingenuity, Social organization and Sharing the planet.
- How is the IO marked?
- Criterion A, Language (12 marks); B1, Message on the stimulus (6); B2, Message in the conversation (6); and C, Interactive skills (6) — 30 marks in total.
- Is this an official IB tool?
- No. It is an independent practice tool by Andrés Aprendes, not affiliated with or endorsed by the International Baccalaureate Organization. Marks are estimates for practice.
