attention is paid to the learner, whose role and development should be
taken into full account in any language teaching program.

limited to the following:
Learner characteristics, motivation and attitudes
Language learning issues for students
Linguistic theory and language teaching or learning
Approaches, methods and strategies in TEFL
Language and culture
Use of multi-media in teaching and learning
Testing
Writing and development of teaching materials
