For this, Korean language text book 『High School Korean』, and the Japanese language text book 『國語綜合』 were compared, focused on non-literal passages from each textbook. This study found the passages from non-literal subjects in Korean language textbook are weighted towards to human and social subjects than scientific and technical ones, compared with Japanese textbook. For relieving unequal distribution of the subjects on the Korean textbook, there needs to select proper subjects and to find some utilization plan for integrated education of liberal art and natural science. A knowledge and thinking of traditional interdisciplinary field has limit to creative thinking and true problem-solving. In addition, a new technology of twenty-first century requires amalgamative thinking in every area; IT, nanotechnology, science, humanities, arts and so on. Therefore, in order to meet this requirement development of an amalgamative subject curriculum which humanities, social science, natural science and arts mingle together is urgent. And this development of a new subject curriculum will materially contribute to cultivation global talent who can understand the world and inanimate nature generally and has ability to solve the problem at hand creatively.
