What Our Students say

"I learned about globalisation while communicating with students from various countries. After attending English programme, I also had the chance to learn about foreign languages or cultures and much more through my classmates from other countries. I feel proud talking about my experience at APLC"

Oh Dongsu, South Korea


"I like to take part in the activities in class when I was studying at APLC, the teachers provided us a very interesting and fun way to learn English communication. It was a good experience learning the language together with students from so many countries."

Sarzhan Madina, Kazakhstan


"I was touched by the warm and comfortable study environment created by the kind and friendly staffs and lecturers during the first day of joining APLC in January 2018. They immediately solved the problems and provided alternative solutions to me when needed. Besides, the multicultural learning experience is so awesome which provides the opportunity for me to improve my English communication skills as well as networking skills. I am glad that I can study in APLC and APU, of course, thanks to my agent who recommended APLC and APU to me for pursuing my studies."

Nguyen Thi Hong Bich, Vietnam


"Teachers said "In the classroom, you speak only English." So I had to try speaking English without thinking about making mistakes. In APLC, I made friends not only Japanese students from different universities but also students from many different countries. I made friend with a Korean for the first time. We both speak poor English, but I’m so glad that we are able to communicate with each other. If you join APLC, you will enjoy speaking and studying English with friends from all over the world."

Risako Kishid, Japan


"The teachers in APLC are very friendly, they are very helpful to us in learning the English language in class. The environment of APLC is also very different, and I got to know students from different countries in the same class. Besides learning the English language, I also made new friends and learnt about new culture from my classmates."
