Good point, Jim. When I was an English teacher, I set my “fifth years”/“year 11” class a project on American English and cultural differences. (These pupils/kids/students/learners/clients/customers were aged 15 or 16). My source material was two episodes of The Simpsons!
I also used magazine articles. But it would not have been so easy to study different Australian idioms, and of course, the influence of American values is far greater.
