%X The vernacular variation of a language is overlooked in practically all foreign language classrooms. This oversight may be a deprivation to students in the learning process. This report discusses plans for research that will probe a curriculum development strategy to enhance the foreign language experience for students in higher education by including the vernacular variation of the target language. The research methods are discussed and it is anticipated that the learning experience for students will be enhanced, allowing them to communicate in the target language with a wider variety of natives as opposed to learning only the standard variation.
