Hey, Gang --- Just a quick question -- I teach in China and I �m fighting a constant uphill battle to get the word "maybe" out of overuse and misuse. Do any of you have this problem in other countries? Is this a uniquely China thing? I ask because I �m putting together a PPT activity to try to address this. If this is only a China thing, then I �ll focus it on China specifically. If it is a problem with learners of other first languages, then I �ll make it more generic so that it can be used in other countries as well. Thanks in advance for any input. Cheers from China --- Dee |

So I teach in Japan and although I haven �t heard maybe being used a lot (mostly because the situation never calls for it) I asked my JTE and she said that the students will use the word whenever they can �t think of a word that works for them. So I can see this being a useful lesson for my classes. |
