The nature of the task

The Individual Oral is an assessment task you have to complete at both HL and SL in addition to the final examination papers and (for HL students only) the coursework essay. At a time designated by your teacher, you will deliver a 15 minute oral presentation; for up to 10 of those minutes you will present alone and in the last five minutes your teacher will ask you some questions.

The nature of the task

In the oral you will be expected to talk about two works that you have studied. One of them must be in translation.

In the oral you are expected to focus on a GLOBAL ISSUE. This is a topic that connects your texts with both local and global 'real world' contexts.

The oral is conducted and marked by your teacher. Their marks are then moderated externally by the IB.

Global Issue

Put simply, a 'global issue' is an idea or theme presented in your text/s that has significance in the world. The IB states that it should have the following properties:

It has significance on a wide/large scale

It is transnational

Its impact is felt in everyday local contexts

An example of a global issue might be:

Money as a source of social repression in Metamorphosis and Death of a Salesman

This issue focuses on a specific topic, is not too broad and would allow for interesting development in the oral.
