FINAL CALL FOR PAPERS

its2005

International Conference on
Interrogating Third Spaces in Language Teaching, Learning and Use

Centre for English Language Teacher Education and Applied Linguistics
(CELTEAL),

University of Leicester

27-28 June 2005

This conference, hosted in the 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.

Plenary Speakers
-	Adrian Holliday
-	Bonny Norton
-	Ben Rampton
-	Helen Spencer-Oatey

The intermediate spaces - 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.

Postmodern theory, particularly in anthropology and cultural studies, has
taught us to celebrate these intermediate zones, which have been named
'Third Spaces', because through the struggles of those who create them they
present the possibility for stimulation and renewal, as well as threat. But
we do not need to adopt postmodernist theory to begin to value these third
spaces, whether they become stable or are always in transition..

This Conference will examine what there is to celebrate in the existence of
third spaces, and will interrogate the usefulness of the concept itself, in
the following areas:

-	How language learners construct (or are constrained from constructing)
learning experiences that are meaningful for themselves out of what
teachers and others intend for them.
-	How inter-language (phonology, syntax, pragmatic strategies, discourse
strategies, genres...) thrives as an independent system in the spaces
between the norms of L1 and L2, as fossilised forms, pidgins, idiolects,
emergent systems and 'errors'.
-	How language varieties emerge against established standards, in regional
and sub-cultural pockets.
-	How particular teachers and learners in particular classrooms adopt,
adapt, co-opt and corrupt teaching methodologies, course materials,
syllabi, curricula and examination systems, and make them work for themselves.
-	How participants in multi-language interactions mix, switch, translate,
and otherwise manage to communicate in one language or another.
-	How identities are lost, reduced, confounded, re-shaped, and re-made in
the move from one language to another.
-	How learning to write in academic and other genres means finding a way
between the established conventions and how you want to express who you are.
-	How readers extract and impose their own meanings from and on texts,
moving themselves towards the text, and the text towards themselves.

On alternate years UCSB and UCLA graduate students organize a spring
conference to encourage the presentation of research, and to provide a
forum for scholarly engagement on issues in language and social
interaction. This is the eleventh year of the conference, and its fourth
time at UCSB.  Historically the conference has presented research in the
traditions of conversation analysis, interactional sociolinguistics, the
ethnography of communication, language and education, and qualitative and
quantitative research methods.
