Abstract

Students' low critical thinking skills are caused by one-way learning, where students only receive material and a lack of variety in the application of learning models, especially those that encourage critical thinking. This study aims to determine the effect of the Genre-Based Approach learning model on improving the thinking skills of AMIK Parbina Nusantara students in English courses. This research method was pre-experimental, using only the experimental group without a control group. The research design used a One Group Pretest-Posttest Design. The data collection techniques used were tests and questionnaires. Data analysis techniques used descriptive statistical analysis, normality tests, t-tests, and hypothesis testing. The results showed a significant effect of the application of the Genre-Based Approach learning model on students' critical thinking skills. The results of the research that has been conducted obtained the results of the initial ability or pretest of students an average of 42.33 and after being given treatment using the Genre Based Approach learning model, the average result was 72.33. Based on the results of the study, it can be concluded that H0 is rejected and H1 is accepted, which means there is a significant influence between the Genre Based Approach learning model and students' thinking abilities in English lectures.

Abstract

This study analyzes conceptual metonymy in the President’s speech during the flood disaster inspection in Bener Meriah Regency. The study focuses on metonymy within the Thing and Part Configuration of the Idealized Cognitive Model (ICM) proposed by Kövecses (1998), which includes the relations of whole-for-part and part-for-whole metonymy. Using qualitative discourse analysis, the study examined a 380-word official transcript of President Prabowo’s speech. Data collection employed documentation and indirect observation techniques, supported by audiovisual validation. Data analysis followed the framework proposed by Miles, Huberman, and Saldaña (2014), which consists of data reduction, data display, and conclusion drawing. Findings show that whole-for-part metonymy dominates, while part-for-whole occurs less frequently. The dominance of whole-for-part metonymy reflects a discourse strategy that emphasizes institutional responsibility and collective solidarity in crisis contexts. By employing this strategy, the President legitimizes state presence and authority while guiding public perception of disaster management. In this way, the study demonstrates that metonymy simplifies institutional realities, constructs collective responsibility, and facilitates public understanding in crisis communication. This research contributes to cognitive semantics and political discourse studies by highlighting metonymy’s role in crisis communication.
