Teaching English as a foreign language teacher: job description
Teaching English as a foreign language (TEFL) involves teaching adults and children whose first or main language is not English. This can be done in the UK or abroad and the students may be learning English for either business or leisure reasons.
Teaching English to speakers of other languages (TESOL) is also a widely used term and often means the same thing as TEFL. It’s sometimes specifically used to refer to teaching English to people who are living in the UK but who do not speak English as a first language. These students are most commonly refugees and immigrants and need to learn the language in order to help them settle into the UK society.Their courses are often government funded.
Teaching English as a second language (TESL) or teaching English as an additional language (TEAL) may also be terms that are used but they generally all refer to the same thing - teaching English to someone whose native language is not English.
Teachers of English as a foreign language can work in a variety of settingswith different age ranges. This can include commercial language schools, schools and institutions of further and higher education throughout the UK and overseas. Some may also teach in industry, while others are self-employed. Classes are usually taught in English, evenwith beginners. Teaching English as a foreign language teacher: job description

A alternativa correta é BBB.
A questão aborda o tema das "tag questions" (ou "question tags"), que são pequenas perguntas adicionadas ao final de uma frase afirmativa ou negativa para confirmar ou verificar informações. Essas tags variam de acordo com o auxiliar utilizado na frase principal e o sujeito da frase.
Para resolver a questão, é necessário entender como as tag questions funcionam, o que inclui o reconhecimento do auxiliar correto e a transformação da frase afirmativa ou negativa em uma pergunta.
Vamos analisar cada frase:
1. The students are learning English for business reasons, aren’t they?
- A frase principal é afirmativa (The students are learning), então a tag question deve ser negativa. O auxiliar da frase é "are", então a tag question correta é "aren’t they".
2. Refugees and immigrants need to learn the English language, don’t they?
- A frase principal é afirmativa (Refugees and immigrants need), então a tag question deve ser negativa. O verbo auxiliar implícito é "do" (na forma afirmativa "need"), então a tag question correta é "don’t they".
3. Mary studies English because she wants to travel to England, doesn’t she?
- A frase principal é afirmativa (Mary studies), então a tag question deve ser negativa. O auxiliar da frase é "does" (na forma afirmativa é "studies"), então a tag question correta é "doesn’t she".
Agora, vamos justificar as alternativas incorretas:
A) are they / do they / does she
- Incorreta: A primeira tag question está errada. A frase principal é afirmativa (The students are learning), então a tag question deveria ser negativa ("aren’t they").
C) are they / needn’t they / doesn’t she
- Incorreta: A segunda tag question está errada. "Needn’t they" não é correto para a frase "(Refugees and immigrants) need". A forma correta é "don’t they".
D) aren’t they / don’t they / isn’t she
- Incorreta: A terceira tag question está errada. "Isn’t she" não é correto para a frase "Mary studies". A forma correta é "doesn’t she".
E) aren’t they / needn’t they / isn’t she
- Incorreta: Possui os mesmos erros das alternativas C e D. A segunda e a terceira tag questions estão incorretas.
Conclusão: Para resolver questões de tag questions, é fundamental identificar se a frase principal é afirmativa ou negativa e qual o auxiliar correto para formar a tag question. A alternativa correta, portanto, é BBB, pois utiliza as tag questions "aren’t they", "don’t they" e "doesn't she" corretamente.
