Abstract |
The purpose of this study is to provide a methodology and set up a model for studying such seemingly unrelated subjects as liberal arts, English, LSP and ESP as connections to liberal arts and majors by packaging them, aiming at acquiring internationally recognized certificates. Both the pursuit of scholarship and practical purposes can be realized by the methodology and the model, which can be approached from the view point of competency based education. Searching for linking points between liberal arts and majors, the competency based education enables students to approach knowledge and science convergently. A suggestion as an effective and efficient system in this study is ‘A packaging model for acquiring internationally recognized certificates’. By providing consumer oriented services, the model as a system helps to cultivate liberal arts for students and provides various opportunities of career choices. Extending their vision into the world, it also endows them with internationally recognized certificates, a useful tool for working in the world arena. The specific example applied to this model for acquiring internationally recognized certificates is the certificate of Certified Public Accountant issued by AICPA. The actual method of acquiring the certificate of Certified Public Accountant is presented through convergent education of liberal arts, ESP, and majors. |
