Abstract
In this article, we discuss the specifics of implementing the Master’s degree program entitled “Technologies of teaching the Sámi language” launched at the Department of Philology, Intercultural Communication, and Journalism of the Murmansk Arctic University during the 2022–23 academic year. The lectures and practical sessions included in the program are briefly described. The methodological aspects of the discipline “Teaching the Sámi language (initial stage, school)” are presented in greater detail. The relevance of introducing a Master’s degree in this profile for reviving the Sámi language, which is on the verge of extinction, is shown. The factors leading to extinction of the indigenous language of the Kola North are outlined; measures for preserving and reviving the Sámi language are proposed.
