Drawing upon sociolinguistic issues inherent to language variation and registers (BIBER at al., 1999), this paper, fundamentally theoretical, sought to discuss theoretical and methodological issues related to informal (colloquial) English. Besides the fact that this type of register is fundamental to one’s linguistic proficiency, the literature on the topic is substantially scarce both in theoretical and didactic-pedagogical terms (SENEFONTE, 2018). Thus, this article can contribute to the literature by possibly promoting critical thinking about the conscious use and approach to such type of language in the classroom, aiming at understanding language as a social practice and at critical language awareness.
