If you had an ESL student who was preparing to live and work in the US, what would your advice to him/her be with respect to using the word shan't?

Let me ask you a similiar question: If you had an ESL student who was preparing to live and work as a writer, journalist, or similar, in the US, or one who was planning to study American literature, in the US, what would your advice to him/her be with respect to using the word shan't?
