The Language A Individual Oral (IO) is a major internal assessment in the IB Diploma Programme. It assesses your ability to analyse two texts in relation to a global issue, delivered as a 10-minute spoken presentation.
Your IO is marked using four official IB criteria:
Understanding and Interpretation
Analysis and Evaluation
Organisation
Language Use
High-scoring IOs demonstrate a clear structure, insightful analysis, confident delivery, and precise, fluent language.
Introducing RevisionDojo’s AI IO Grader (Beta)
To support IB students preparing for the Language A IO, RevisionDojo has released a free Oral Assessment Grader (Beta) designed specifically for Language A IOs in English.

The IB TOK Presentation was abolished in 2022 and replaced by the TOK Exhibition. Here is what changed, why it changed, and how to succeed in the new format.
Refine your script and delivery based on feedback. Recording three to four times usually shows clear improvement.

Analysis and Evaluation Strength of commentary, transitions, and textual focus

How Reliable Is the AI Grader?
The grader provides consistent and unbiased feedback, particularly for:
Timing and pacing
Structure and coherence
Clarity of expression

For best results, combine its feedback with teacher or peer input—especially for performance elements like tone, emphasis, and presence.
