The writing of abstract is in fact one of the most important things for students since they have to summarize and highlight the most important thoughts/ideas of their text. Thus, writing has a unique position in language teaching since its acquisition involves the practice and knowledge of what are known as the other three language skills, i.e. listening, reading and speaking. It also requires the mastering of other skills, such as metacognitive skills since learners need to set an objective for their writing, plan it carefully, think over its layout and logical structure, revise it .....In the process of writing they have to use cognitive skills; they have to analyze their sources and then synthesize them in a compact piece of writing.
