| description | Recent developments in technology have prompted educators to integrate technology into their classes with the help of mobile devices. QR codes are one of the most popular tools to implement technology-enriched instruction (TEI) in classes with their various advantages. To this aim, present study was conducted at TISHK International University in Erbil, Iraq on seventy-five Advanced English students in the fall semester of 2021-2022 Academic Year spanning 10 weeks. The participants, who were 35 male and 40 female ones, were chosen via the snowball sampling method. Their lessons were enriched with e-quizzes, e-presentations, e-texts and supplementary videos in an embedded format via QR codes while they were having classes through Scope 2. Data collection was run by SPSS 25 and Nvivo through a survey, a questionnaire and a thorough interview by sticking to the procedures of a mixed method research design. Cronbach’s Alpha reliability test, Shapiro-Wilk Normality Test, Mann Whitney U-test and Thematic Analysis were used to fetch and analyse the findings, respectively. The revealed data showed that students’ macro-skills developed substantially. Additionally, their perspectives on QR enriched instruction have changed positively. The findings of this study can have some implications for educators who consider incorporating QR codes into EFL classes for the sake of increasing students’ enthusiasm. |
