Mexican TV network (Azteca) adding English classes to its lineup

Now a Mexican television network is saying it, too. And the network, TV Azteca, is putting its money where its microphone is.

In January, Mexico’s second-largest network plans to launch a 60-hour series of English classes on 60 affiliates in the United States, from Chattanooga, Tenn., to San Diego.

The televised classes, the first of their kind to be broadcast by a Mexican network in the United States, will offer cultural as well as language lessons. They will not be broadcast in Mexico or other countries in Latin America. The aim is to prepare immigrants in the United States for a host of situations ranging from taking their children to school to grocery shopping and going to the doctor.”*
