Hi Bindu,
In my view, you should help them to be motivated enough to attempt to communicate in English at all times. Perhaps giving them practical exercises like solving simple crosswords, identifying the main points and sub-points from a group of related sentences, and asking them to use the right synonyms to fill in the blanks could prove to be motivational.
Focus on correcting their tendency to lapse into directly translating their thoughts from the vernacular to English.
Most people are too lazy to write and construct sentences; as a result, they tend to simply verbalize their thoughts, which you may correct but may not be fully understood or grasped. Give them ample written work that can then be corrected.
You may also find the contents of the following blogs useful if adapted suitably to supplement the learning of English language skills. For example, you can give them the quote of the day and ask them to write about it. Then, you can present them with the thoughts articulated in the blog, or you can give them a word and ask them to use their imagination to generate an acronym. This will stimulate their thinking and force them to think of new words.

I think in stead of making them bored by teaching grammar you can ask them to make use of a particular word in sentence differently so that they can focus on English communication.

Greetings,
I came across this article today. It's very practical and easy to implement. A suggestion: as you would train corporate employees, please request them to read 'The Economist' aloud. This would not just strengthen their business intelligence but also improve their vocabulary and sentence formation.

Suggestion...
English is thought-provoking. Take a word, relate it to the moment, and you can set the ball of words, thoughts, stories, and incidents rolling. Start each day with something that caught your attention. You will have a wonderful session on expressions in English, some very original.

Hi Bindu,
Why don't you borrow "WREN & MARTIN" for English Grammar and Training from the bookstores? This book will be interesting as well as informative as it helps in gaining knowledge from the basic roots to understand quickly.
Please consider checking out this book for your English language learning needs.
Thank you.

Hi, I'm going to share the idea which I tried on myself.
Tell all of them to watch a one or one & a half-hour Hollywood movie and then tell them to deliver some of the dialogues of the movie in your classroom between all, as he or she is presenting the movie. You will notice that their tone of presenting and fluency of talking is enormous.
You can name this session as Dialogue Delivery Session.

If you read so many books on swimming, you cannot learn it. You have to jump in the water. Likewise, whatever exercise you do for learning, you will never learn unless you start practicing talking more and more in English.
