Defining the problem is easier than providing the solution.One can suggest that students should spend two or three years in an English-speaking country,which amounts to washing one's hands of them.Few students have the time or the money to do that.It is often said that wide reading is the time or the money to do that.It is often said that wide reading is the best alternative course of action but even here it is necessary to make some kind of selection.It is no use telling students to go to the library and pick up the first book they come across.My own advice to them would be:"read what you can understand without having to look up words in a dictionary (but not what you can understand at a glance); read what interests you; read what you have time for (magazines and newspapers rather than novels unless you can read the whole novel in a week or so); read the English written today,not 200 years ago; read as much as you can and try to remember the way it was written rather than individual words that puzzled you." And instead of "read",I could just as well say "listen to."
