Author “Slangman” David Burke gives an informative & hilarious presentation on teaching idioms and slang in-person and online. These are the words and phrases that typically keep your students on the outside of our culture—leaving them feeling alone, frustrated, and ostracized …until now! Slangman will also clue you into the very newest slang your students are bringing into your classroom that you need to know! Learn which idioms and slang your students must learn to avoid embarrassment, avoid costly mistakes in business, achieve true fluency, and open the doors to American culture.

Gain insights on how you can make a difference globally through teaching projects designed by the U.S. Department of State.
