Abstract: 
In this paper it is proposed that doing summaries of academic texts is valuable to
undergraduates EFL learners for several reasons. If the informational content of a written
composition k mutually known to writer and reader, feedback on recurring errors in the work
of weaker writers can be given more effectively. It is also of value in introducing EFL
undergraduates to the language of the academic discourse community. Furthermore, it serves
to give learners a clearer idea of what kind of originality is required of them in their written
compositions.
