POURQUOI ENSEIGNER LE RESUME AUX FUTURS TRADUCTEURS?
WHY SHOULD FUTURE TRANSLATOR KNOW HOW TO WRITE A GOOD ABSTRACT?

Summary/Abstract: Writing an abstract in a foreign language is a very complex process which involves the understanding of the source text, the penetration into the thinking of another person, the ability to differentiate the essential elements from the secondary ones and to re-express the source text in a personal way, getting a text with the same characteristics as those of the original one. We intend to present in this article the advantages of this type of exercise in the professional development of future translators (first year students), the methods that we use during the written expression seminar. We believe that this exercise is very beneficial to their training as future translators.
