Abstract
Language is a powerful weapon which can make or mar a scenario. To update such a language, we need to enlarge the linguistic skills. Teaching is successful, when the appropriate methodology is chosen according to the concept. This paper caters the best pedagogical tool to learn and teach English idioms for L2 learners of engineering students in an efficient way. Storytelling aids the learners to comprehend and remember the idioms easily. Storytelling method for teaching idioms is suitable from kinder garden children to scholars. Basically, learning idioms is not a piece of cake; this is the tenet of students. This paper will break this myth and make L2 learners of English to love English idiom usage willingly.
