This study aims to develop a metadiscourse-based GUNTUR model as a writing learning strategy for high school students in Cirebon City and analyze its implications for improving writing skills. The research method used was qualitative descriptive by analyzing the narrative text of grade XI students at SMAN 7 and SMAN 5 Cirebon through metadiscourse analysis. The results showed that textual markers dominated students' writing, especially logical connectives (81% in SMAN 7 and 82% in SMAN 5) and frame markers (15% in SMAN 7 and 17% in SMAN 5), which helped maintain cohesion and storyline. Meanwhile, the use of interpersonal markers is much more limited, with person markers (64% in SMAN 7 and 54% in SMAN 5) and attitude markers (22% in SMAN 7 and 30% in SMAN 5) as the main categories, while hedges, boosters, and relational markers appear relatively rarely. These findings confirm that students tend to master textual aspects more than interpersonally. The GUNTUR model contributes to balancing the two dimensions as well as increasing students' metalinguistic awareness. Further research is recommended to test the application of this model to different types of texts and broader educational contexts.
