 note = {This study investigates the effects of differing time limits and the level of language proficiency on the written recalls of 66 Japanese EFL undergraduates. Results showed that different time limits affected total recall, but not main ideas recalled. Regardless of proficiency level, the 20-minute group (Group 2) recalled a greater number of idea units than the 8-minute group (Group 1). However, no significant difference was found between Groups 1 and 2 regarding the recall of main ideas, although a longer time period of reading was given for Group 2. Furthermore, irrespective of differences in time limits, the high-proficiency students recalled the overall text and main ideas of paragraphs better than the lowproficiency students. However, the lack of interaction between time limit and proficiency level in terms of total recall, and the recall of main ideas as well as paragraph recall indicated that differing time limits did not affect the differences between the high- and low-proficiency students in the following: 1) the total number of idea units recalled; 2) the recall of main ideas; and 3) paragraph recall. Moreover, the time limit x paragraph interaction was not significant, indicating that differences in paragraph recall were not affected by different time limits.},
