Effects of Time Constraints on College Students’ Direct English Writing and English Translation Performance

This study investigates the effects of time constraints on college students’ direct English writing and English translation performance. The research was conducted with 124 college students on their four English writing projects across four conditions: (1) Low Intermediate Group with time constraints, (2) Advanced Group with time constraints, (3) Low Intermediate Group without time constraints, (4) Advanced Group without time constraints. Each group finished two direct English writing projects and two English translation projects. This study revealed that with more time given, all groups performed better in organization, contents, and vocabulary, and also, they made fewer errors when they were provided with more time. However, there was no difference on certain grammar items such as nouns and word order between limited time groups and no time limit groups.
