“…Rather, slangs should be elaborated proportionately in the teaching and learning process as an aspect that will enhance both the acquisition of the language learned and collective or mutual communication with both native and non-native speakers in various contexts [cf. 4,6,8]. As revealed in the interview, the participants mostly learned English slangs from the Internet and online communication with friends and other people.…”

“…In other words, the teaching and learning of EFL, in general, can be enhanced through the use of slangs. Besides, limited awareness of English slang hinders EFL learners from engaging in effective communication with native speakers of English because people often use slang as part of their culture, especially in real and natural communication contexts [3][4][5][6].…”

“…Despite this potential, only a few studies [e.g., 3,4,7] were reported about the use of slangs by learners in facilitating their foreign language learning, particularly within Indonesian EFL contexts. Considering the popularity of internet-based social media use, particularly among Indonesian young people and EFL students, the study on the use of slang on social media and its contribution to the students' English language learning is worth pursuing.…”

“…Considering the popularity of internet-based social media use, particularly among Indonesian young people and EFL students, the study on the use of slang on social media and its contribution to the students' English language learning is worth pursuing. Since advanced computer technology and the Internet become the dominant characteristics of the present and future generation [8] including in Indonesia, English teachers could start considering the benefits of slangs and social media use among their students in enhancing their EFL learning by providing reasons, resources, and encouragement to achieve their learning objectives [4].…”

Slangs are commonly associated with informal ways of communication and used both in direct and indirect conversations, such as to communicate and express emotions on social media like Instagram. The question is how the use of slang may support and help improve students' EFL learning through social media like Instagram. The purpose of this study was to investigate the types, social functions, and whether the use of slang on the students' Instagram statuses contributed to their English language learning. This study was conducted using a descriptive qualitative design by employing 20 students who regularly posted statuses on Instagram at least once a week from January to March 2020 as participants. The data were collected through documentation and interview with the participants. The study found that the most widely used type of slang was an acronym constituted approximately 30%, and the pursuit of selfidentity was the most dominantly used social function of slang. The participants also perceived that they gained advantages through the use of slang on their Instagram statuses. Posting statuses and engaging in communication online through Instagram enabled the students to practice vocabularies they have learned and improved their writing skills. These findings show the usefulness of slang and social media in facilitating students' EFL learning that needs to be considered by teachers for teaching English.

The article is devoted to the issue of a certain variant of the Russian language functioning in Sevastopol and Crimea. It provides findings of the study, which took several years, and involved examination of the speech of Sevastopol residents. On the basis of comparing the local speech with some other southern Russian vernacular the main features of the speech of Sevastopol residents are demonstrated. The following dominating characteristics are pointed out: absence of convergence of sounds [i] and [y], absence of diphthongization of stressed vowels, reduction of vowels in an unstressed position, as well as contrasting of phonemes <г>, <г'>, <γ> and <γ'>. Moreover, phonemes and are regularly realised by bilabial sounds turning voiceless close to [f] and [f'], while allophones [w], [w'], [y˘] characteristic of the southern Russian dialects and the Ukrainian language are hardly ever met. Derivational means are mostly applied in the sphere of locality with a wide range of agoronyms, godonyms, horonyms. However, Sevastopol urbanonyms are represented only by nominals and created by suffixation. The author concludes that the findings prove the absence of a certain variant of the Russian language in Crimea and Sevastopol, with some deviations from the literary norm characteristic of the subdialects of southern Russia being present.
