In this paper, the writing produced by pre-service teachers in Geography, History and Mathematics undergraduation courses is presented as object of research in the Applied Linguistics (AL). The description of the genre supervised internship report, produced by the pre-service teachers mentioned, is the main aim of this research. The methodology of scientific research is informed by the transdisciplinary approach of AL. Some studies developed in the fields of Systemic Functional Linguistics (SFL) and Teacher Literacy are the main references used in this investigation. The research results show a non-systematized pedagogical work with the writing of reports in the courses studied, what may result in restrictions to the empowerment of the critical literacy idealized for the future teacher in his/her workplace. Some theoretical and methodological contributions are pointed out, more directly, for the studies of genres developed in the SFL.
