The researcher used qualitative methods, including transcription and document analysis, to collect the data. The data were analyzed using content analysis to find out each context of slang words that occur in the Freaky Friday movie. To find out the word formation processes in each slang, the researcher used the theory by George Yule (2010). The finding showed that there were 43 slang words that appear in the movie. The result of this study showed that there are 8 out of 10 types of word formation processes in this research. They are coinage (2\%), borrowing (9\%), compounding (19\%), blending (5\%), clipping (14\%), conversion (10\%), derivation (19\%), and multiple processes (9\%). These data were also analyzed based on morphological aspects that occur in each slang that used in this movie. Freaky Friday was chosen because a rich depiction of culture, social life, and language is offered, particularly using slang. It is shown a realistic portrayal of family relationships and teenage life, making it a valuable resource for understanding the connection between language and society, especially for English learning. The researcher also classified which slang words can be suitable to be used as EFL learning material to enhance their speaking abilities.
