Abstract/Résumé
Cette étude vise à montrer le rôle de l’analyse contrastive de texte dans l’enseignement de la traduction. Après un aperçu général du rôle de l’analyse contrastive dans l’enseignement en général et dans l’enseignement de la traduction en vue de l’apprentissage des langues étrangèresen particulier, l’étude se consacrera à une analyse des travaux des étudiants qui montrera comment l’enseignement de la traduction à travers l’analyse contrastive pourrait être une approche efficace.
L’accent sera mis sur la langue source et une analyse de la langue sera appliquée sur la traduction des prépositions de l’anglais vers l’arabe et vice versa.
Cette analyse permettra de définir les implications pédagogiques et les recommandations nécessaires à cette approche.
