ABSTRACT

This study pointed out that there is a possibility that the liberal arts education can be integrated across the boundaries of scholarship, focusing on Snow's ‘two culture concept’ and Wilson's concept of ‘consilience’. Based on this, I emphasized the role of ‘liberal arts college’ which practiced the consciousness and I tried to find out that writing can function as various complex links. The liberal arts education in the period of fusion saw that it should play a role of a bridge that is necessary for consensus of knowledge together where the other two cultures meet. And writing - mediated education can be a good tool to express and communicate what we understand by experiencing the unfamiliar world of two different cultures. We need words to exchange opinions, and we need words to organize our thoughts. Discussions and presentations also use language, and text analysis also uses language as a tool. Therefore, I strongly advocated the possibility of linking the creative and convergence type education with the writing and communication lesson of the existing university common culture. The efforts of the writing section at these liberal arts colleges will bring about the creation of a fusion talented person who can speak and understand the languages of two different cultures using ‘bilingual’.
