Abstract
Objectives The purpose of this study is to propose an whole model of liberal arts education based on content- based language instruction for international students, and furthermore, to present and share specific educational plans through actual cases. This was sought as one of the ways to solve the problems of the current international student education.
 Methods the literature research method was applied to understand the current status and problems of international student education and to confirm the necessity of the content-based language education. Subsequently, a case study was conducted on the class of ‘Understanding Korean Modern History’ which has been appling the adjunct model for years, and based on this, we extracted the effective class composition and scaffoldings for international student education.
 Results In order to compensate for the problems of the current international student education, this study presented a foreign student liberal arts class model that applied the content-based instruction step by step. In particular, it was confirmed through related cases that the adjunct model can be an alternative class form for early-stage international students.
 Conclusions Liberal education for international students should be conducted in the direction of enhancing Korean language and the ability to adapt to Korean universities and complete their studies along with content education. And for this, it is necessary to utilize a model that applies content-based language education. In particular, the adjunct model is suitable as a customized teaching method for international students before entering a full-fledged major class.
