...with a brief wtf...

Students learning English are taught (via textbooks) to say "gonna" as a correct reduction of "going to"? Actually taught that it's the thing to do?! What-what-what?!

I'm all for fluid language, but... but... just... gonna?

Has anyone else come across this (especially if you learn/teach English as a foreign language)?
