Mabel,

I agree with Laura and Lourdes, but I think that teachers play an essential role in this situation. As far as I understood, the ultimate aim here is students autonomy. For this reason, teachers must pay attention to the way students are using this resource (model texts).

In business English for instance, model texts are very important not only to help increasing students self-confidence, but also to ensure they will be able to use business protocol appropriately for writing a spate of documents.
