    IB DP English Language & Literature: Readers, Writers, and Texts

    Internal Assessment: The Individual Oral

    You will provide a commentary on two extracts of approximately 40 lines from ​one literary and one
    non-literary work studied in class (you should bring ​unannotated copies of these extracts to the individual
    oral). You are encouraged to seek guidance on the choice of two texts you will analyse, and on the suitability
    of the chosen global issue to the two texts. You are required to give a ten-minute oral commentary which
    will be followed by five minutes of questioning by the teacher. Even though the individual oral is internally
    assessed, the commentary will be recorded for external moderation. Total recording time is as close to 15
    minutes as possible (not more), including mandatory discussion with your teacher.

    Remember that the way in which you speak and the way in which you organize your material are as
    important as what you have to say: the teacher / examiner will be judging your choice of language and your
    skills as a speaker as well as your knowledge and understanding of the text and your chosen issue.

    The individual oral addresses the following prompt:


    Examine the ways in which the global issue of your choice is presented through the content and form
    of one of the works ​and​ one of the texts that you have studied.

    Determining the global issue


    The global issue chosen should be significant on a wide scale, be transnational in nature, and be an issue
    that has an impact felt in everyday local contexts. You may look into one or more of the following fields of
    inquiry for guidance but the topics are not to be considered exhaustive:
    1. Culture, identity and community
    How do your chosen texts explore aspects of family, class, race, ethnicity, nationality, religion,
    gender and sexuality, and issues concerning migration, colonialism and nationalism? How do these
    issues impact individuals and societies?
    2. Beliefs, values and education
    How do your chosen texts explore the beliefs and values nurtured in particular societies? How do
    they shape individuals, communities and educational systems? What tensions might arise when
    there are conflicts of beliefs and values, and ethics?
    3. Politics, power and justice
    How do your chosen texts explore aspects of rights and responsibilities, the workings and structures
    of governments and institutions? You might also want to investigate hierarchies of power, the
    distribution of wealth and resources, the limits of justice and the law, equality and inequality, human
    rights and peace and conflict.
    4. Art, creativity and the imagination
    How do your chosen texts explore aspects of aesthetic inspiration, creation, craft and beauty? How
    can art or the function, value and effects of art in society shape and challenge perceptions?
    5. Science, technology and the environment
    How do your chosen texts explore the relationship between humans and the environment and the
    implications of technology and media for society? You might also want to consider the idea of
    scientific development and progress.

    Suggested format for your commentary

    1. Begin your commentary by indicating ​your name, candidate number, and exam session​. Then provide
    the author, text, and genre of your extract or passage

    2. Briefly provide ​context of the passages​, that is, how it fits into the works as wholes and the historical
    periods when they were written/created. Do this briefly and remember, it is different depending on the genre
    of your extracts (plays / poetry / novels).

    3. Next, include ​a brief summary ​of the selections - what happens in the passages / extracts?

    4. Following the summary, ​state the global issue(s) you will explore and how it links to the
    author’s/creator’s purpose​ for the extract. This is the​ ​thesis​ ​of your individual oral.

    5. Discuss the presence of the global issue in ​the first extract​, closely relating it to the author’s/creator’s
    purpose. Develop your argument by illustrating ​how the author communicates the purpose: you should
    select specific ​literary devices/features which support the author’s intentions. Make sure you can link each
    one of these devices to the intentions of the author and the global context explored through a solid analysis.
    Also, try to make links to other parts of the text to demonstrate your knowledge of the text as a whole (use
    linking words).

    6. Then, ​relate the global issue to the work and/or text the extract was taken from​. You should discuss
    relevant aspects of the broader work as a whole. If the extract is a complete non-literary text, discuss the
    broader body of work of the author of the text.

    7. Afterwards, follow the same format in reference to ​the second extract​.

    8. End your commentary with ​a conclusion ​in which you synthetize your commentary and elaborate on the
    impact of the issue and its relevance in everyday contexts.

    Possible other format of your individual oral

    As indicated in the Language A: Teacher support material, you could first analyse how meaning related to
    the global issue is constructed in both extracts before continuing to a discussion of the broader presence of
    the global issue in the works and/or texts the extracts were taken from.

    Conduct of the Individual Oral

    You will need to prepare ​an outline​ of your oral in advance; you are allowed to include ​a maximum of 10
    bullet points​ which must not be excessively long. The outline should serve as a springboard for your oral
    and you ​should not read it as a prepared script.​ The suggested word limit for your outline is 300 words
    (InThinking).
    You are only allowed to bring your outline and the chosen extracts into the room on the day of your exam.
    You need to provide the extracts chosen to the teacher for approval ​at least one week before​ the
    assessment takes place.
