This document summarizes Janet Bianchini's presentation at the 2010 TESOL Italy National Convention on teaching English vocabulary. It provides examples of new and borrowed words from British slang such as "innit", "cheers mate", and "footie". It also suggests resources for teachers to keep up with evolving English vocabulary like online dictionaries, websites that track new words, and social media. The goal is to help teachers bring dynamic, contemporary English into the classroom.
