    This paper analyzes the design of the mobile application RE-Write (Resources for English Writing) as an autonomous learning resource for the development of written production of English texts based on textual genres. Examples of these textual genres include opinion essays, job application letters, formal emails or articles. The learning resources hosted in each textual genre are structured as follows: (a) a brief videotutorial that explains the structure and the content of each text, along with the main linguistic features from three main approaches, namely, lexicon (semantic fields), grammar (verbal tenses) and discourse (use of connectors, rethorical figures), (b) a golden text extracted from an online and open access source, that will serve users as a model pattern for writing their own texts and (c) self-corrected activities with gamification that will allow to measure the users’ progress by obtaining points or trophies. Previous empirical studies have evidenced that students show high motivation for learning English through the use of mobile phones and the development of written production of texts in this language has considered to be positive via Mobile Assisted Language Learning (MALL) (Hao, Lee, Chen and Sim 2019; Khalitova and Gimaletdinova 2016). Therefore, RE-Write aims to contribute to help English second language learners with an A2-B1 level develop autonomous learning in the writing of textual genres through MALL and also aid these learners along their academic performance.
