This study is aimed at proposing the use of Systemic Functional Linguistics (SFL) Perspective for researching EFL Pre-service teachers' belief, opinion, attitude, or what so- called cognition. As traced, many studies on language teachers' cognition use various research instruments to reveal their cognition, but in the data analysis, they hardly use theoretical basis to justify how certain data can be categorized into certain elements of cognition. This study provides a sample of research to show how the Appraisal theory from The SFL perspective can be used to analyze data and to reveal EFL pre service teachers' cognition from the category of attitude, engagement, and graduation. More to that, this study will demonstrate the data collection and data analysis procedures and highlight the benefit of employing the SFL perspective for revealing pre-service teachers' cognition and for teacher's professional development. © 2018 Asian E F L Journal Press.
