Mun lean sámegiela doseanta ja má艐ggagielatvuo膽a ja 膷állinoahpahusa dutki. I am Docent of Sámi language. I do research on multilingualism and literacy instruction in a minority context.
I Docent (Sámi language) and senior lecturer in North Sámi at the Department of Language Studies at Umeå University, Sweden. I am is currently active in several research projects. I do research on teaching of heritage language writing in Sámi school contexts, on literacy practices in multilingual preschools and classes, and on the importance of play and games in minority language teaching and learning. I also study language awareness in Sámi primary school education. Some of the aims of the current collaborative research is to strengthen the position of Sámi writing among Sámi youth, to map literacy practices in multilingual educational contexts and to create new teaching methods that use game and play as support. Other research interests lie on North Sami grammar and syntax, as well as on the possibilities and potential of using virtual worlds and virtual classrooms for language revitalization.
