 　The intention of this study is contributing to the work with texts in mother and foreign languages in higher education. In this work, we aim at establishing a relation between social function of discursive genre and underlying objectives in professors’ proposals to reading and text production teaching in Letters Course. In doing this, we make use of collected data by means of questionnaires applied to professors and graduating students from 7th period of Letters Course at Rio Grande do Norte State University’s Pau dos Ferros Campus. We theoretically support on studies by Bakhtin (2003), Marcuschi and on discussions proposed by Souza (2006, 2007a, 2007b). The collected data revealed that, despite of making use of variety of discursive genre, particularly those of academic sphere, have already arrived at classroom in higher education, its applicability presents some problems especially in relation to lack of corrections in some proposals of reading and production of texts, such as: selected discursive genres, social function of these genres, objectives and proposed activities. All of these problems make obvious the necessity of wide-ranging study and focalization in discussions concerning methodologies and teaching practices of reading and production of texts in higher education.
