I'm in Gemany and our English teacher made everybody read Shakespeare, Dickens and more in the original. I estimate at least 1/3 of our class had reached a C1/C2 level of English after 3 years of his class.

Didn't J.K. Rowling do this with Harry Potter? She wrote the first book with simple words and slowly upped the difficulty every installment. Being a teacher for developmentally disabled kids, she knew that some of the books they were being forced to read were like throwing new swimmers into the deepend.
