This study investigates Chinese students' motivation in learning French as a Foreign Language (FLE) during in-person or online instruction in higher education amid the pandemic, using self-determination theory. Using questionnaires (SRQ-L and LCQ) and semi-structured interviews, the findings show a strong correlation between autonomous regulation, academic performance, and control regulation in this 3-year online-offline hybrid learning context. A moderate positive correlation is found between autonomous regulation and perceived autonomy support. Contrary to literature suggesting competition between control and autonomous regulation, higher grades correlate with higher levels in both, while lower grades correlate with diminished levels. Insights from interviews enrich our understanding of these relationships, providing a more nuanced outlook on the learning trajectory within this domain.
