How to Choose and Analyse Extracts for Your IB English IO (Step-by-Step Guide)

Is your IB English IO actually connected, or just a list of good ideas?

Dexter Haywood, experienced IB English tutor, IB examiner, and IB workshop leader explains how to link your ideas smoothly, develop your analysis naturally, and keep your global issue at the centre of your Individual Oral so you don’t lose marks.

In this video, you’ll learn:

Why clear connections make your IB English IO stronger and easier to follow

Why the IO is NOT a comparison task (and what the IB really wants instead)

How to use your global issue as the thread that ties everything together

How to develop ideas across both texts without repeating yourself

How to transition smoothly so your IO doesn’t feel disjointed

How to connect ideas inside each extract, not just between them

How to create a powerful final synthesis that examiners remember
