The teaching-learning process has undergone a lot of changes. The teaching-learning process for the subjects like English has also witnessed a remarkable change, especially in the past two decades. Earlier it was limited to the rhetorical ways of teaching: using the blackboard, later it evolved to teaching using the ICT techniques, and today it has gone a step further, where many teachers employ several games and activities. The authors of the current paper aim at accounting some of the innovative practices (games and activities) of teaching English, especially vocabulary development and use of figurative language that they have been using to teach the students taking professional courses. These practices can be easily used in classroom situations as it not just ensures students’ learning but also inculcates and fosters interest in the learning process.
