This research study employed a systematic quantitative literature review of studies using design-based research in the field of technology-enhanced second or foreign language learning, published in SSCI-cited journals between 2013 and 2018. The purpose of the study is to gain insights in the light of these previous studies and to produce a comprehensive picture of what has been investigated related to the amalgamation of technology and educational theories, and to address educational problems in context. This article provides an overview of relevant issues such as context, problems, technologies (interventions), and theoretical understanding, and thus identifies emerging trends in the field. It concludes with suggestions on how to employ design-based research to its full potential and provides directions that can guide future research in technology-enhanced language learning (TELL).
