English as a medium of Instruction (EMI) has been adopted by the majority of non-native English-speaking countries for teaching science subjects. Medicine is no exception. The decision is based on enormous associated advantages both during the undergraduate period and in professional life as a doctor. However, the linguistic barrier does impose numerous deficiencies related to proficiency in English. This, if not corrected, leads to suboptimal learning and affects the career and output. Formal and dense measures have been suggested but are against the cognitive load on a medical student. English Enhancing Exercises (EEE) is an easy-to-do student-friendly approach, that gradually and spirally helps out without any additional burden.
大多数非英语母语国家已采用英语作为科学学科的教学语言。医学也不例外。这一决定基于本科阶段以及作为医生的职业生涯中所带来的巨大相关优势。然而，语言障碍确实造成了与英语熟练程度相关的诸多不足。如果不加以纠正，这会导致学习效果不佳，并影响职业发展和产出。虽然有人提出了正式且密集的措施，但这些措施会增加医学生的认知负担。英语强化练习（EEE）是一种易于操作且对学生友好的方法，它能逐步且呈螺旋式地提供帮助，而不会带来任何额外负担。
