The mesonic excitations and s-wave {pi}-{pi} scattering lengths at finite temperature are studied in the two-flavor Polyakov-Nambu-Jona-Lasinio (PNJL) model. The masses of the {pi} and {sigma} mesons, pion-decay constant, the pion-quark coupling strength, and the scattering lengths a{sub 0} and a{sub 2} at finite temperature are calculated in the PNJL model with two forms of Polyakov-loop effective potential. The obtained results are almost independent of the choice of the effective potentials. The calculated results in the PNJL model are also compared with those in the conventional Nambu-Jona-Lasinio model and indicate that the effect of color confinement screens the effect of temperature below the critical one in the PNJL model. Furthermore, the Goldberger-Treiman relation and the Gell-Mann-Oakes-Renner relation are extended to the case at finite temperature in the PNJL model.
