Poor English means below the standard (broken sentences, wrong spelling, use of inaproppriate words and such.) and is academically unacceptable.

Slang is the use of highly informal words and expressions that are not considered standard in the speaker's dialect or language. Slang is often very colloquial and tends to be specific to a particular territory. Slang terms are frequently particular to a certain subculture and members of a minority, but some terms may spread out of the original boundaries and become fashionable too.

Note that slang is different to jargon, the technical vocabulary of a particular profession.
