Qualitative thematic analysis of observations, interviews and focus groups from three field visits during the 2013-14 pilot. The report concludes students had opportunities to use talk in diverse motivating contexts for different purposes, while further consideration of how to engage students in exploratory talk across the curriculum is required.
