Witch reflections and learning can we get in an English language internship experience in middle school? Having this question as a starting point, in this article we aim to do a reflexive study of qualitative nature about English teaching and learning mediated by discursive genres and information and communication technologies. From observation reports, we can describe and interpret an internship experience guided by a teaching proposal that links didactic sequence, webquest and technology. The research goes from studies of Gebhard (1999) and Ninin (2010) Bakhtin (1979), Marcuschi (2010), Dolz and Scheneuwly (2004), Dodge (1995) and March (2003). In methodology, the research process involved observation and data collection of 12 classes taught by teachers in early formation at UNIFESSPA, in an 8th year English class at Marabá (PA). Results show that: 1) trainees implemented a distinctive proposal that promoted magazine covers' production and dissemination, also explored mental and linguistic capacities in reading, writing and English linguistic analysis learning, mediated by technologies; 2) the observation task could exceed its initial purpose of data collection, serving as a support to the trainees work and also to the work methodology awareness for the researchers involved in this project and 3) the relevance of this experience focuses on teachers in early formation's literacy, improving and developing genrer studies for educational purposes, integrating it with technology use.
