The article justifies the necessity to conduct a pre-translation text analysis; the author analyzes modern researchers’ views on the pre-translation analysis, justifies the importance of teaching translation by the material of journalistic texts. The paper provides the characteristics of certain text genres, identifies the difference in translating a journalistic article and other types of texts, and proposes the model of a pre-translation journalistic text analysis, which includes five sequential stages of teaching.
