The objectives of this study are to diagnose the reality of the existing university Korean liberal education and to suggest a new class model of liberal subjects in accordance with the importance and necessity of education for speaking. Concretely, the improvement measures for <words & writing in our living> which was the Korean liberal course in Mokwon University were suggested as operating a new class model. Based on this, a class model <reading & expressions> which was newly reformed was suggested. Focusing on speaking which is currently dealt as importance, <reading & expressions> is the subject centered-integrated class combined with reading and writing. With a debate about suggestive subjects for a week and the correction of writings for another week, the actual participation in classes and feed-back were achieved. For this, the size of a class was limited as 30 people as strengthening the instructor's management system. The Korean liberal course in university in the current era is facing new turning point. While the past Korean liberal course focused on reading and writing, now it is necessary to have curriculum to improve self-expression ability focusing on speaking. Based on the fact that the Korean liberal course is the basic knowledge that can include various major areas as being recognized as an essential tool for communication, it is needed to cultivate integrated Korean ability by crossing school system. In this point, this class case and the development plan of curriculum would be a precedent of current Korean course of university liberal education.
