I know that everyone studies different, but the thing that helped me was having a study partner. Have them quiz you, and don't look at the material. Have them quiz you until you know the answer. If you can explain an answer to another person without looking at the material then you won't forget it. This is what worked for me in microbiology and I got an A. As for the english being your second language, I can't give any advice.
Hope this help
It depends on your learning style. Most of us are visual learners, including me, so I take good lecture notes and copy them into an organized bullet form with enhancements from the assigned textbook or other reference. I try to highlight interesting relationships as well as develop memory learning acronyms, etc. In my spare time, working out at the gym, I review the notes. I avoid study groups as they don't work for me.
