Abstract

Due to the sociolinguistic approach, teaching language varieties different from everyday language is gaining more and more emphasis in the first language classes. As a result of this tendency, students learn the theories on language varieties they use in everyday life and they also become conscious about how to use them. Getting to know the regional and social language varieties is essential to develop an overall and positive picture about first language. Slang is a very particular part of social language varieties and research on slang and how to teach it are challenging due to its complex and almost undefinable nature. This study provides a theoretical background as well as tried-out practical ideas, advice and potential.
