Abstract
In this chapter I consider the use of Potentially Exploitable Pedagogic Activities (PEPAs) – how can we identify normal pedagogic practices that lend themselves to becoming investigative tools? Essentially, this chapter is about ‘making it happen’ – how can busy practitioners begin, and continue, to engage in systematic, purposeful, thoughtful investigations into practice? And how are their activities deeply embedded in cultural and social beliefs, as well as crossing intercultural boundaries, in and beyond classrooms?
