TOP COMPLAINT FROM ESL TEACHERS/STUDENTS
BORING BOOKS/LESSONS
“I’m so bored! Just because it’s a textbook, why does it have to be so dull?!” And we all know that a bored student stops learning! (And shouldn’t teachers have fun teaching their lessons, too?!)
THE WIDELY ACCEPTED & ALWAYS UPDATED SLANGMAN METHOD
FUN! ENGAGING! REAL-WORLD EXPRESSIONS!
The SLANGMAN books use humor and exaggerated illustrations to demonstrate each slang word and idiom! And the students LOVE the dialogues set in real-world situations along with videos and audio programs. And teachers won’t have to spend boring hours creating homework assignments – they’re done for you in the Workbook!
OUT-OF-DATE IDIOMS & SLANG
“Fiddlesticks! The jalopy I bought wasn’t the bee’s knees after all and I spent 5 Cs on it! That dingus of a crate salesman chiseled me!” And that’s popular slang…from the 1920s! Nothing is more embarrassing for a student than to use old, outdated expressions and slang when trying to integrate with their native-speaking peers!
LINKS TO VIDEOS THAT UPDATE DAILY!
The SLANGMAN books literally update every day because that’s how often the main video changes! With each new video, Slangman David Burke explains a slang word or idiom that was used on TV that very day. You can’t get more updated than that! For English teachers who aren’t native speakers themselves, this is critical since you always need to be one step ahead of your students!
THE TEACHER’S COMMON PLEA:
Let’s face it — in today’s world, students are glued to their mobile phones! And when they receive a text in class, it’s virtually impossible to ignore it and not respond. For the teacher, it’s disruptive, frustrating, and a losing battle!
“IF YOU CAN’T BEAT ‘EM, JOIN EM!”
“Take out your mobile phones!” Instead of fighting what comes naturally to students, SLANGMAN has created a series that relies on the tool they know best — their mobile phones! In seconds, your students can quickly access the Audio Programs, Videos, Dialogues in Slang & Idioms, all the Pair Work and so many other activities!
ENGLISH LANGUAGE SCHOOLS SEEK WAYS TO RECOVER COVID 19 LOSSES
Schools are coming back! And they’re doing so to both the physical and new online classroom as a way to expand their student reach. Many language schools are looking for additional revenue streams to compensate for their losses.
OUR SLANGMAN COURSES ARE A NEW REVENUE STREAM FOR YOUR SCHOOL!
Talk about a win-win situation! Students get to learn the very words and expressions they WANT and NEED to learn in order to fit in with their American peers; and schools not only enjoy an additional revenue stream, but they have students that are motivated and excited, which, of course, reflects back on the school!

MATT BRENNEMAN
Program Coordinator of Mentor Language Institute
After teaching the Slangman STREET SPEAK series in my own advanced conversation class, I ended up being such a fan that we adjusted our curriculum to use the series at every academic level of our school’s conversation program.
ANDREW FREUND
UCLA American English Center
The STREET SPEAK and BIZ SPEAK books on idioms and slang by Slangman David Burke are excellent tools to remedy the widespread deficiency among foreigners studying English.
There are certainly many fine English idioms textbooks out there, but very few books address practical, colloquial slang that we hear every day. The Slangman books are certainly the best in the field. Check ’em out, man!
MONICA L. MAURO
Senior Director of Education at American English College (AEC)
Blew the other textbooks on slang and idiomatic expression out of the water. Long story short, AEC has been using Slangman’s STREET SPEAK and BIZ SPEAK series ever since. Goodbye dry, boring, dull. Hello, fun, interesting, and dynamic!
