multicultural and multilingual city of Leicester in the centre of England,
marks the establishment of CELTEAL (Centre for English Language Teacher
Education and Applied Linguistics) within the School of Education in the
University of Leicester. The theme of the conference, 'Interrogating Third
Spaces in Language Teaching, Learning and Use', derives from the interests of
the group who have all been involved in working across multilingual and
multicultural contexts. We would like to interrogate the concept of third space
which has been in use for several years in cultural studies and applied
linguistics. We believe it is time now to explore the validity of this concept,
both theoretically and practically in terms of its applicability to a wide range
of applied linguistic topics. We would like to take the opportunity to invite
those with an interest in the idea of third spaces to engage with us in
discussion of its potentials and problematic.</span></font><font size=2

linguistic, discursive and cultural spaces - between established norms have
habitually been seen as problematic, because they constitute neither one thing
nor another but are, by definition, in-between. A result of contact, they are
heterogeneous spaces, but they can also reach autonomy, transcending their
component sources through a dialectical process to make a new, expanded space
which had not been dreamt of before. On the other hand, the very concept of
'Third Spaces' presupposes, and thereby reinforces, relatively stable and
homogeneous norms in the 'first' and 'second' spaces, and this presupposition
needs to be examined. </span></font><font size=2><span style='font-size:10.0pt;
