This is an exploratory study based on the literature reviews which examined the possibilities and necessities of multimodal writing curriculum for liberal education. The purpose of this study is to analyze the existing research results which utilized the teaching methods associating music and writing, and to find the educational implications, and finally in terms of writing education, to suggest the possibilities of writing classes' convergent forms with music extracted from the results of the existing studies. Those studies were categorized to four patterns: WAC, effects of therapy, materials for writing, and new literacy. Based on Meyrowitz's perspective, firstly music can be utilized as a circumstance, which means a teacher can indirectly take the emotional, reminding, and healing effects of background musics. Secondly, music can play an important role of materials in thinking and writing, which is the most generally utilized pattern today. The effects are found in all of affective, cognitive, and strategic domains by utilizing music as a sort of reading materials. Thirdly, the convergent writing of music and narrative is suggested. Music is an independent language that can interact with narrative and construct text meanings in this kind of writing classes. These three dimensions of convergence have different perspectives, but sometimes occur at a same time or as a connected pattern. This study proposes that writing teachers need to improve their competence in music as well and to have professional concerns and efforts to develop their convergent writing teaching skills with music for these classes. Finally, this study stresses that team teaching can be an alternative for them.

The purpose of this study is to investigate how children use the PAIR strategy for their audiences in the writing on the screen and how the comments play a role to communicate between an author and audiences. In order to perform this research, 7 elementary school students(4th-6th grade) participated in the literary education program designed to promote to write on the screen. As a result, 42 body texts(635 sentences) and 424 comments of children's writing on the screen were collected and analyzed according to the PAIR strategies and performance behaviour. The findings are as follows: first, 'attracting' is used the most among PAIR strategies and second, the most frequent performance behavior of comment is 'expression'. These findings indicate that children's writing strategy considering audiences tends to be emotionally appealing and performance behavior of comment is likely to focus on affective expression.
