Analyzing education context in endangered Sami languages

This paper provides an overview of our ongoing five-year research project, funded by the Research Council of Finland, titled Co-creating Linguistically Responsive Teaching in the Context of Endangered Sami Languages for Sami Youth (LINCOSY).1 We discuss the project’s beginning, as well as the key challenges and possibilities that Sami language teaching faces. Based at the University of Lapland, the LINCOSY project aims to create opportunities for the development of Sami language teaching and tools to enhance the emerging field of Sami pedagogy.
