We investigated some representations about basic school teachers on the reflexive professional writing elaborated by teacher-trainees who were enrolled in the supervised compulsory teacher-training subject. By the identification of the representations made, we also characterized the writing mentioned and found out the relevance of this academic written register to the teacher's critical education. These objectives were achieved by the articulation between Systemic Functional Linguistics, especially the concept of context of culture, and the transdisciplinary approach of Applied Linguistics. The results showed an effort to render invisible the teachers in the register investigated. They seem not to be represented as teacher-trainee's interlocutors.
