摘要:The Limited Attentional Capacity Model (LACM) is believed to have an impact on the memory processing system, resulting in a trade-off model between the levels of complexity, accuracy, and fluency (CAF) in textual output by EFL student writers. Among various factors that may influence EFL students’ use of the LACM and their ability to maintain a balanced relationship between the CAF, time may be considered one of the most influential variables. However, the current literature on the exclusive influence of time factors on university-level students’ CAF in EFL writing is relatively limited, particularly in the context of Taiwan. To shed light on this subject, the researchers of this study investigated 43 EFL students’ writing samples that were produced under two different time frames (30 minutes versus 50 minutes). Both inferential and descriptive statistics were employed to analyze the data collected from the participants’ textual output. The research results show a clear shifting relationship triggered by time factors between fluency and complexity/accuracy. The paper concludes by offering implications and by identifying possible avenues for further studies
