why not??
I think to understand a culture and a language thoroughly one must lear the slang as well as the standard version of the language.

| But they also have to learn how to use it. Misused slang can be an abomination. ;-)

| True, but the question here is: “Foreign students should not be taught English slang expressions.” Does that refers for ever and after?? Once one has bettered his English and reached a certain level of proficiency then he should start tackling slang. init;-))

| It is, but it should be studied as seriously as any other area of English if you want to use it well. For the non-resident learner, it is very difficult because slang is ruled by social and conversational conventions.

| Yeah...Why not? How can a foreign student relate with native speakers if they were not taught such expressions?

| wha?....Slang is a major part of a language, people do not always use dictionary correct language, and as such without the knowledge, it would be pretty difficult to understand a lot of expressions used during conversation.
