This paper presents the impact that the edition of an academic journal had on the development of generic and specific skills (writing) of a group of pre-service teachers participating in a research club at a Colombian public university. This qualitative research study collected data through three instruments: A semi-open questionnaire, a writing assessment grid, and the researchers' field journals, which contained the research activities that were carried out for the writing, editing and publication of this journal. The results show a positive impact on the development of generic and specific competencies in this group. These results become a benchmark to encourage the design of pedagogical strategies, which allow teacher educators, through the use of other contexts, to integrate and improve these types of competences in teacher preparation programs.

Palabras clave : Initial teacher education programs; teacher educators; foreign language teaching; generic and specific skills; writing ability.
