 Definition: Slang is the use of informal words and expressions that are not considered standard in the speaker’s language. ◦ Proper grammar is not always used.

 Rationale: EFL learners have difficulty understanding and interacting with native speakers because the nature of native speakers language differ from the “academic language” that is used in the classroom.

 Brainstorm the reasons why you may have difficulty fully understanding a native speaker’s language.  Give examples of slang language.  Ask yourself whether you have problems understanding conversations in American (or other English-speaking) movies. If so, why?  Is this what “bottoms up” means?

 What an awesome sunset today.  The whole idea was a bust.  More than twenty companies went bust.  My new car is a lemon.  This is a really cool place to work.  I need more time to cram for the test.  She has a really cushy job.  I’m psyched!  I’m broke.  Others? 

 Slang: words and phrases associated with a particular group of people (e.g., young people) Emo My bad  Idioms: words and phrases recognized by the public-at-large. Every cloud has a silver lining / Spreading myself too thin  Slang and idioms are similar in meaning

 Definition: Tongue twisters are phrases that are difficult to say because they have many same sounding words.  She sells sea shells by the seashore.

 Rationale:  Tongue Twisters help in practicing pronunciation.  May help ELL students to improve their English language accent.

 Toy boat. Toy boat. Toy boat.  Good blood, bad blood.  Peter Piper picked a peck of pickled peppers.  World Wide Web  Fuzzy Wuzzy was a bear. Fuzzy Wuzzy had no hair. Fuzzy Wuzzy wasn't fuzzy, was he?  How much wood would a woodchuck chuck if a woodchuck could chuck wood? "Stop it! Stop it! That's enough, sir. I can't say such silly stuff, sir." (Dr. Seuss, Fox in Socks. 1965)
