Abstract

This article proposes a method for the teaching of Arabic-English translation based on discourse analysis, rather than on the reproduction of each term or the choice of a possible equivalent proposed by a bilingual dictionary. Given the fact that one does not translate a language but a text, one has to opt for discourse analysis because translation is a communication process to deliver a readable and a convincing message. That process implies mediation, adaptation to a context, interpretation, etc.
