Effective character education is required in any level of education, including in higher education. This paper will discuss a literacy based teaching approach known as Genre-based approach under Halliday's theory of Systemic Functional Linguistics. The discussion will focus on the practice of Systemic Functional Linguistics Genre-based approach in three psychological dimensions of character education namely awareness, attitude, and action. Later on in this paper, Systemic Functional Linguistics Genre-based approach with its principles and teaching stages can maximize students’ learning. This means Systemic Functional Linguistics Genre-based approach can be an effective way for character education through literacy. This paper is expected to be a technical guideline for lecturers in higher education to apply Systemic Functional Linguistics Genre-based approach in character development
