This chapter presents practical applications and ideas for introducing QR codes into teaching practices in a seamless manner, which will improve the experiences of language learners. All aspects of language abilities, including listening, speaking, reading, and writing, are included in the scope of this analysis. The chapter also notes that there are challenges associated with the incorporation of QR codes. In conclusion, the chapter suggests that the use of QR codes into language instruction might be a paradigm change in terms of pedagogical approach. The presentation of QR code integration in this chapter is framed within a multimodal approach, which acknowledges the value of mixing many modes of communication, such as verbal, visual, auditory, gestural, and spatial modes, in order to produce an experience that is both comprehensive and immersive for language acquisition.
