The current study employs a cross-sectional survey to investigate whether Chinese university students were fully e-ready after three years of full-scale online English instruction and their willingness to continue this mode in the post-pandemic era. It also explores the potential mediating roles of foreign language enjoyment (FLE) and burnout in shaping the relationship between readiness and continuance intention in the EFL online setting. A total of 447 Chinese university students participated in the questionnaire survey and data were analyzed using SPSS 26 and structural equation modeling with Amos 26. The main findings revealed that Chinese students rated their readiness and intention to continue learning English online similarly at a moderate level. Students’ readiness was positively linked to FLE and continuance intention and negatively linked to burnout. However, the correlation between burnout and continuance intention was statistically insignificant and negative. Additionally, FLE mediated the relationship between readiness and continuance intention, while burnout showed no mediating effect. This study suggests prioritizing pedagogical design, enhancing students’ experience of FLE, and regularly updating professional development programs for improved teaching with technology, ultimately facilitating greater L2 achievement and well-being.
