Abstract: According to the statistical results of questionnaires issued, this research, standing up for positive psychology (PP), analyzed the relationship between second language motivational self system (L2MSS), foreign language enjoyment (FLE) and foreign language learning boredom (FLLB) of Chinese English language students in the post- pandemic era in an e-learning environment. The results show that- (1) Chinese English majors maintain a medium to high level of L2MSS and FLE in their online classes, and a medium level of foreign language learning boredom; (2) FLE has a negative correlation with FLLB; (3) FLE produces a positive predictive trend for ideal L2MSS and learning experience. However, FLLB does not produce a significant predictive trend for either of these categories. The study integrates multiple theories in second language acquisition (SLA), which not only corroborates the applicability of the undoing hypothesis in the online classroom, but also provides a scientific basis for improving language learning outcomes for English majors in China at a theoretical level.
