What is the ruling on reading a text that speaks of an animal foretelling the future, knowing that reading the text aloud is intended to improve English language skills, and that the professor who authored the text is Muslim?

This text is not disbelief (kufr) nor does it claim knowledge of the unseen. It can be understood as an announcement about a capability that God has placed in this animal, allowing it to anticipate the approaching arrival of spring. This prediction does not necessarily have to be correct, especially since the professor stated that most of its predictions are wrong. This matter is merely a probability or an expectation based on the animal's behavior. It is not denied that God might bestow special abilities upon some animals, just as Al-Damiri mentioned concerning bees and hoopoe birds. Consequently, the phrase "On this day, there is an animal that predicts the future" does not imply a claim to knowledge of the unseen, nor is its recitation forbidden when understood in this sense.
