Learning about Australian Slang

On February 17, there was another ‘Australian’ themed lesson for the students going to Australia in March. The topic focus was on Australian ‘Slang’. Most of the students weren`t aware of this vocabulary so they seemed very interested. The helpful terminology were common words or phrases that are used in Australia on a daily basis. Some of the slang included: mate=friend, barbie=barbecue, ta=thank you, sunnies-=sunglasses etc. During the lesson students` linked up the slang with the ‘real words/phrases’ that they mean, worked on some pronunciation and then practiced using the slang in different situations; students are usually keen to learn about foreign slang and /or unique phrasing which they can use when abroad. Overall, they participated a lot, laughed out loud and had fun trying out the Australian slang in short role-plays. By the end they had a clearer understanding of how and when to use these terms. Enjoy your trip!
