In the CEDA(Cross Examination Debate Association) debating model, students make active use of listening and writing skills in accordance with the procedures. The listeners and the speakers reach a compromise and create a meaning through the debating model. I have designed the ``Micro Debate`` and the ``Macro Debate`` method as the teaching and learning methodology of the CEDA debating model. The Micro Debate model let students learn the procedures of debate from the curtailed CEDA debating model where each step is reduced to 10 minutes. The Macro Debate model is combination of the CEDA model and the text based debate that Koreans prefer. This study suggests the Macro Debate which is based on what is called ``marathon discussion`` of Lee Hwang and Lee Yee of Chosun Dynasty. They wrote 9 letters of debate to each other for 8 years. In the Micro Debate, the real debate is reduced to show the procedures of discussion. On the other hand, the Macro Debate is an extended form which is based on text. It is designed for students to learn the basic principles of argumentation and refutation. This study is significant because it represents a specific learning model for acquiring high level argumentation method of the CEDA, confirming the effectiveness of it.
