Abstract

             This paper aims to examine the relationship between learning burnout and self-control on the English learning performance of Chinese college students. Taking the students of Shanxi Institute of Technology in Shanxi Province, China as the target population, 528 samples were drawn by random sampling method. The tool for collecting data is to fill out the questionnaire online, and the software is Questionnaire Star. This research adopts the way of questionnaire survey to conduct quantitative research. The main tool of analysis is linear regression analysis to test variables and test hypotheses. All tests are based on the 0.05 significance level. From the results of the analysis, there is a significant negative correlation between the degree of English learning burnout and academic performance of college students, and a positive correlation between self-control and academic performance. Self-control plays an intermediary role between the degree of learning burnout and academic performance. Therefore, it is recommended that colleges and universities pay attention to the degree of English learning burnout of college students in English teaching, and take corresponding countermeasures to improve the effect of English learning.
