초록

Time is often considered as one of the important factors to receive a higher score on official English tests as well as performance in English classes. This study examines the effects of time on reading performance and translation activities. Sixty-one students enrolled in college general English program were tested to identify reading performance using comprehension questions as well as translation. They were divided into two groups: Time-limited Group and Time-unlimited Group. The latter group showed significant differences on reading comprehension tests, and it means students with more time displayed higher scores on reading comprehension tests. For translation activities, Time-unlimited group added more meanings to the original sentences than Time-limited Group. Also, they tried to deliver authentic meanings rather than directly translating sentences. In addition, they did a better job on translating idioms than Time-limited Group. In English classes, time plays a role for students’ English performance both in reading scores and translation skills. In order to prepare official English tests, educators should consider the use of time in their programs.

For translation activities, Time-unlimited group added more meanings to the original sentences than Time-limited Group. Also, they tried to deliver authentic meanings rather than directly translating sentences. In addition, they did a better job on translating idioms than Time-limited Group.
