Abstract
Digital burnout has become a growing concern in today's technologically driven society. With the advent of digital devices and the internet, people are spending more time than ever before on digital platforms, leading to a new phenomenon called digital burnout. In second language learning, digital burnout can have a significant impact on learners. Digital technologies have transformed language learning and created new opportunities for learners to acquire knowledge and skills. However, the pervasive use of digital tools and platforms can also lead to burnout and negative outcomes for language learners. This chapter aims to explore the potential outcomes of digital burnout in second language learning, including decreased motivation, cognitive overload, decreased learning outcomes, and reduced well-being.
