description: A complete advanced English as a second language (ESL) course in American slang, this book presents a story about four 20-something main characters (the typical age group of ESL students) in 30 short dialogues. Each dialogue is followed by classroom-tested questions that help students master the new terms. The developing story serves as a guidepost that aids in the recall of slang terms and their meanings, and provides usage examples appropriate to particular social contexts. This book includes a glossary of grammatical terms, a dictionary of all slang terms introduced, pronunciations, usage notes, and sample sentences.
