Abstract

The purpose of this study is to propose a plan to organize a liberal arts writing curriculum to educate first-year college students on basic academic skills. To this end, the discussion on the nature of liberal arts writing lectures as a basic liberal arts essential subject was broadly examined, and it was revealed that the perspective of focusing as a tool subject was useful in enhancing academic ability. In addition, discussions on the WAC curriculum, which is a curriculum that looks at writing ability as a basic academic ability, and the writing curriculum by division were analyzed. The WAC curriculum has the advantage of securing practicality in that it is a writing curriculum prepared around tasks to be written in the academic performance process. However, it is difficult to operate as an essential liberal arts curriculum due to the need for individualized operation, and alternatives are needed in that it is challenging to design and operate the entire university curriculum to operate the subject. The writing curriculum for each category is somewhat easier than the WAC curriculum to apply as a basic liberal arts essential curriculum. However, criticism is raised over whether there is a distinct writing type by academic field, while at the same time whether there is a common writing type that can be agreed upon within the academic field. Accordingly, this study suggested that the curriculum model that integrates the common curriculum and the modular curriculum could be an alternative to applying the academic-centered writing curriculum model to the realistic operating context.
