As the dominant theory of the research field of L2 learning motivation, L2 Motivational Self System (L2MSS) has proven itself adaptable to conceptual innovations. On the basis of analyzing and summarizing the relevant literature, this paper reviews the latest studies on L2MSS from four aspects: 1) the verification of L2MSS; 2) the relationship between L2MSS and L2 learning, including individual’s subjective intended effort, learning behaviors and learning achievement; 3) the influence factors of L2MSS; 4) the theory development of L2MSS.
