Accommodation
PLI offers a variety of residence and apartment options that are conveniently located and offer more independent living for students. We have inspected all residences and apartments to ensure that they are clean, neat and have all the basic facilities.
A "Studio suite" has a combined sleeping/living area, a fully-equipped kitchen and a bathroom. A "1 or 2 Bedroom Apartment" has 1 or 2 separate bedrooms, a living/eating area, a fully-equipped kitchen and a bathroom. In many one-bedroom apartments there is also a sofa-bed in the living area, so this type of apartment can often be shared by two people. Linens and towels are included, and all options include at least weekly housekeeping services.
Superb Facilities
Our premises are new and modern. Each of our large classrooms is fully equipped with textbooks, dictionaries, reference books, tape recorders and VCRs. We offer students a modern computer lab and the latest software programs, as well as free access to Internet and e-mail.
Our large student lounges are a meeting place for our students between classes and at lunchtime. Enjoy free tea and coffee in our lounges and e-mail home from our Internet cafés. Check out what's happening locally in magazines, journals, and daily newspapers in our Student Information Centres, or have a look at our noticeboard for excursions, local entertainment and current events. Other facilities in our lounges include microwave ovens, refrigerators, and vending machines.
Experienced and qualified teachers
Our teachers are all professionally trained, with university degrees as well as qualifications in Teaching English as a foreign language, and with many years of experience in teaching English both at home and overseas. Many of them have learnt a second language themselves, so they are very sensitive to your learning needs.
