摘要：Abstract This article draws attention of English teachers to the increasing number of new words or neologisms that appear in the English language. It is argued that one can understand the culture by examining its new words, thereby neologisms should be integrated into the vocabulary material offered to English learners. After giving an overview on the current perspectives and theories on the notion of neologisms as well as eliciting the results of the survey aimed at estimating how well the English learners are familiar with this lexical group and analyzing their feedback concerning integrating it into the classroom practice, the author proposes four strategies of teaching them in the classroom. The strategies outlined in the article are experimental and have a potential to further improve communicative and cultural competences of the English learners.
