Well I'm not really sure about your opinion on going the other direction, from Japanese to English, but my school offers a program that's basically a college level ESL program that teaches students anywhere from no English to Academic level, and I think it can be done (assuming the student starts in the most beginner course) in something like 2 years, maybe even a bit less. Even my Japanese program says on paper that I should be entering advanced Japanese courses by the end of two years, and while there's a lot of difference between school language and real life language, that's really on you to learn the language more practically.
