This case study aims to investigate the use of social media in genre-based approach. Three data collection triangulation techniques were used in this study, i.e. the documentation of students’ argumentative writings, observation and interview. The data were the analyzed using the theory of Genre-Based Approach (GBA), Critical Thinking (CT), Argumentative Writing, and The Use of Social Media in Tertiary Education. In addition, to show the effect of social media in genre-based approach, the students’ writings were analyzed using Systemic Functional Grammar (SFG). The results of the present study revealed two findings related to the research questions. First, when used appropriately in GBA, social media is proven to be helpful in developing the students’ argumentative writing and critical thinking. Social media exposes students to lots of information online and when immersed in GBA, it was confirmed that the students’ argumentative writing significantly improved. Second, the interview data uncovered that although familiar with the concepts of critical thinking, Indonesian students still believe themselves as uncritical thinkers. This is due to the social factor such as the authoritarian society which demands them to remain uncritical. Moreover, the interview data unfolded that students perceived social media as a helpful learning tool to build arguments in their writings. The findings above suggest that using social media in GBA to develop students’ argumentative writing and critical thinking by techno-literate teachers is worth trying to create more effective teaching and learning activities. ududKeywords: social media, genre-based approach, argumentative writing, critical thinking, systemic functional grammar

机译：本案例研究旨在调查基于体裁方法的社交媒体使用。这项研究使用了三种数据收集三角剖分技术，即学生议论文，观察和访谈的文档。使用基于体裁的方法（GBA），批判性思维（CT），议论性写作以及在高等教育中使用社交媒体的理论对数据进行了分析。此外，为了显示社交媒体在基于体裁的方法中的作用，使用系统功能语法（SFG）对学生的作品进行了分析。本研究的结果揭示了与研究问题有关的两个发现。首先，社交媒体在GBA中得到适当的使用，被证明有助于培养学生的议论性写作和批判性思维。社交媒体可以使学生在线上获得大量信息，而沉浸在GBA中后，可以证实学生的议论性写作有了显着提高。其次，访谈数据发现，尽管印尼学生熟悉批判性思维的概念，但他们仍然相信自己是非批判性思想家。这是由于诸如威权社会的社会因素，要求他们保持非批判性。此外，访谈数据显示，学生将社交媒体视为一种有用的学习工具，可以在其作品中建立论据。上述发现表明，在GBA中使用社交媒体来培养具有技术素养的教师的学生的论据性写作和批判性思维是值得尝试的，以便开展更有效的教学活动。 ud ud关键字：社交媒体，基于体裁的方法，论据写作，批判性思维，系统功能语法
