what do you need to learn english for?
you're already speaking it

however, a curriculum of the etymologies of most words (in various different registers) will give you a better command of this beautiful tongue than any author's bespoke attentionwhoring

after that, only poetry
maybe bowden speeches unironically

It would be absolutely brutal and comprehensive.

It would be the opposite of an easy liberal arts course.

Lots of required reading, strict reading schedule, lots of papers.

Classics, criticisms, detailed exams. Reading lists and materials from Ivy League curriculum.

Basically, providing the greatest possible English education that can physically be provided.

Whether or not the students appreciate it at the time. The ones that do would excel.

Keeping in the parameters of English courses, I would do an author study of Don Delillo:
Week 1-2: Endzone
Week 3-4: Great Jones Street
Week 5-6: Ratner's Star
Week 7-8: The Names
Week 9-10: White Noise
Week 11-12: Libra
Week 13-14: Mao II
Week 15-16: excerpts of Underworld

It would be a chronological survey, but also clustered around different things in his work, like his essayist style or his return to certain themes over and over,
