“…In the educational process, someone with a high academic performance score will attain considerable accomplishment (Susanti, 2019). This situation different with students in a state of academic burnout who will exhibit several undesirable behaviors, such as having an excessive workload, a lack of interest in learning, and a reluctance to engage in activity learning, all of which contribute to a decline in academic performance (Oyoo et al, 2018). Academic burnout is associated with a lack of problem-solving skills among students with a negative mindset.…”

Several reasons contribute to specific students' academic burnout due to the ongoing transformations in online learning. This literature review aims to determine how and to what extent students experienced burnout during the COVID-19 epidemic. Utilizing Google Scholar, 16 journals with the keyword "student's academic burnout" are uncovered through a study of the relevant literature. The analysis results of 15 journal papers indicate that students' learning processes induce academic burnout, so they exhibit emotional and physical tiredness, a tendency to depersonalize, and a lack of learning motivation. This has numerous effects on students, including rapid emotional change and heightened sensitivity. In addition, burnout has several adverse effects, including poor academic accomplishment, academic procrastination by students, decreased sleep quality, and suboptimal academic work, which calls for additional research to address academic burnout issues in students. This review concludes that most students during this epidemic reported burnout at medium to severe levels.

“…Additionally, low achievers reported more burnout as compared to high achievers at school. In another study conducted in Kenya, Oyoo et al (2020) found a significant negative correlation between academic burnout and academic accomplishment in adolescents as the participants with a lower level of academic burnout had a higher level of academic accomplishment. Interestingly, it was also found that emotional exhaustion and cynicism were not significant predictors of academic success.…”

“…Since the above-cited studies are found inconclusive, as some of the researchers (e.g., Madigan & Curran, 2021;Oyoo et al, 2020) found emotional exhaustion significantly associated with lower academic performance while some of them (e.g., March-Amengual et al, 2022) found no significant association between these constructs. Moreover, there is also a need to add empirical findings to the existing body of indigenous literature to determine the relationship between these constructs.…”

The current study intended to investigate the association between academic burnout (i.e., emotional exhaustion, cynicism, and academic efficacy) and academic performance particularly to examine the mediating role of cynicism between emotional exhaustion and academic performance in university students. In this correlational study, a sample of 300 (men=119; women=181) university students (BS and MS programs) in the age range of 18-29 years (M=21.45; SD=2.14) was randomly selected from a public sector university in Faisalabad city, Pakistan. Breso Burnout Scale (Breso et al., 2007) was used to assess academic burnout whereas the percentages of obtained marks in the last semester/degree program served as the measure of the academic performance of the participants. The results indicated a significant negative correlation between academic burnout and academic performance, and academic burnout was found to be a predictor of academic performance. Moreover, cynicism appeared to be mediating between emotional exhaustion and academic performance. Additionally, significant differences in levels of academic burnout and academic performance were also there concerning the demographic characteristics (i.e. class, gender, family system, and residence). The findings have significant implications for the relevant stakeholders; mental health professionals, students' counselors, authorities of educational institutions, and concerned policymakers.

“…In addition, being proactive when setting goals and deploying strategies to regulate one's knowledge is difficult if the degree of burnout is high (Oyoo et al 2020). This sensation of exhaustion may respond to the pressure exerted upon the learner by the demands of the language-what Schaufeli et al label as "emotional exhaustion" (2002).…”

Successful performance in the study of English as a Foreign Language is known to be subject to psychological constructs such as type of motivation, degree of self-regulated learning and levels of anxiety and burnout, or academic fatigue. The present study—conducted at the University of Valladolid Segovia Campus—served a double purpose. Firstly, it was used to validate the English Language Learner Motivation Scale (ELLMS) in a sample of university students who were studying this language but whose degrees were in subjects other than English Language or Linguistics. Secondly, it demonstrated that intrinsic motivation is associated with less anxiety and greater self-regulation and self-efficacy in the English language learning process. To both ends, we created a 94-question online survey which blended items from four other instruments measuring levels of anxiety, self-regulation and burnout. This questionnaire, delivered to 214 students from four different Spanish universities, produced interesting results. To begin with, it confirmed the first objective of the study and validated ELLMS as a viable instrument to measure motivation in this population, as well as confirming the presence of the three psychological factors envisaged in the original theoretical proposal and which the reader can find defined and analysed in depth in this paper: intrinsic motivation, external regulation and introjected regulation. The variable introjected regulation was negatively correlated with anxiety but positively with reported levels of burnout informed. With regard to external regulation, the results were not conclusive. This paper considers both the educational implications of these results and the impact that these variables have on the learning of English as a Foreign Language.
