Scroll down to the TeacherTube (Symphony of Slang) video for a great activating strategy to introduce formal and informal language! The idioms/figurative language that is used is from the 1950s, so it will take some extra explaining, but it will definitely get your students' attention.
CAUTION: Preview it before you show it! There is some smoking and drinking. (It is the fifties!) It is 6 minutes in length, so it is not neccessary to play the whole thing-- the first few minutes are enough to "hook" your students.
