Slang is defined as vocabulary used that is nonstandard and is specific to a particular culture or subculture (Burke, 1998). Slang words can, but do not necessarily have an alternative literal meaning; examples of slang include words/phrases like...  [Read more]

Just as you can predict certain errors in tense, you can also predict certain sound substitutions depending on the ESL students?...  [Read more]

Intonation is a very important part of English speech, with each tone or stress on a syllable possibly bringing a different meaning to a particular word.

Sometimes using a certain tense instead of the other can entirely change the tone of the statement or question. In other instances, using, for example, a going to future instead of a future continuous,...  [Read more]
