SUBJECT CURRICULUM IN SAMI AS A SECOND LANGUAGE

SAMI 2 AND SAMI 3



The objectives of the subject
The Sami are one people even if they live in different countries, and their language unifies the Sami across national borders. The Sami language is an important culture bearer and embeds common values, experiences and knowledge. Sami is an official language in Norway, Sweden and Finland, and it is a goal that the Sami language shall be preserved and developed for coming generations. Sami is also a minority language in Norway, Sweden, Finland and Russia, and the situation and conditions for the Sami language are not the same in the different areas of Sápmi/Sábme/Saepmie, the name of the Sami areas. In some Sami communities Sami is the majority language, in others it is a minority language.
Sami language education shall contribute to making children and young persons members of Sami culture and social life, where cultural understanding, communication, formal education and identity development are key elements of the teaching. Education that promotes positive attitudes to the Sami language, and which considers the linguistic and cultural diversity the pupils experience, will provide the pupils with multilingual and multicultural competence. Solid Sami language skills are an important requirement for participation in Sami social life and working life and provide opportunities when it comes to education and employment and lifelong learning.

Together with the Norwegian subject, Sami as a second language shall form the basis for developing the bilingual skills of the pupils, and contribute to giving each and every pupil knowledge, motivation and confidence to choose Sami as their language of communication. By preserving central values in Sami culture the subject may also help to show how Sami values can be developed and adapted to new situations in a time of continuous change. Knowledge about other indigenous peoples and cultures may contribute to increasing one's respect and understanding of others and also to a better understanding of one's own culture.


Language skills and language understanding are developed through active use of the language. Communication and personal interaction are thus key elements in the subject, and experiences and participation may develop the pupils' oral language. The subject shall stimulate the development of good learning strategies and the ability to think critically. The subject shall also motivate the development of enjoyment in reading and writing, and good reading and writing habits. Through the encounter with Sami literature and different Sami languages and dialects pupils may develop their understanding of the linguistic and cultural diversity of Sami communities.
Pupils with Sami as their second language come to school with different backgrounds. Some have Sami-speaking arenas in their local neighbourhood where Sami is heard, while others have little contact with the language outside their school situation. If the pupils are to develop their Sami competence optimally, it is important that they use different linguistic arenas. The Sami as a second language subject may also be useful as a tool in other subjects. The subjects Sami and Norwegian have many common elements, and it is thus important that there is close cooperation between them.

Main subject areas

The subject has been structured into main subject areas with competence aims. These main subject areas supplement each other and must be considered together. The subject curriculum is divided into 10 levels. Competence aims for each of the main subject areas are included on all 10 levels.


Overview of main subject areas:

Level

Main subject areas

1- 10


Oral communication

Written communication

Awareness of language and culture



Oral communication


In the main subject area oral communication being able to listen and speak are key elements. Speaking Sami means communicating orally in active participation with others. This is developed through playing and games, experiences, learning, thinking, presentation and interaction. Exploring and developing the repertoire of linguistic roles and learning new words and terms, enables the pupil to formulate oral text and express his or her own opinions and assessments. When new and various media are taken into use, the linguistic repertoire increases across subjects and topics.

Written communication


This main subject area focuses on written communication, i.e. reading and writing in Sami. Reading and writing are parallel processes in each pupil's learning progress. This means developing the ability to understand and find meaning in texts written in Sami, and being able to create written texts in Sami. Encountering different texts gives insight and opens for in-depth studies that form the basis for developing new thoughts and the ability to reflect upon, interpret and assess the texts. Reading and writing skills are the key to new experiences, a bigger vocabulary and provide the basis for one's own production of texts.

Awareness of language and culture


This main subject area focuses on seeing the relationship between language and culture. The handing over of traditional knowledge from one generation to the next is a key element here. The Sami narrative tradition, joik (Sami chant), songs and hymns, diidat/dijda1 and sayings, fiction, pictures, film and theatre are cultural elements that present knowledge and values. The main subject area comprises knowledge about Sami language and literary history and knowledge about Sami languages and dialects. Cultural competence means having knowledge about and respect for cultural similarities and differences in and between Sami communities.

Competence aims by levels

The subject curriculum for Sami as a second language is designed with competence aims on 10 levels. These levels build on each other. The pupils may choose one of two alternatives, i.e. Sami 2 or Sami 3 to satisfy the competence aims in Year 10, in Vg3 for programmes for general studies and in Vg2 for vocational education programmes.


Sami 2

This is an alternative for pupils who know some Sami but do not master the language. In Sami 2 the pupils shall satisfy the competence aims for levels 1-7 after Year 10. After Vg3 in programmes for general studies pupils shall satisfy the competence aims for levels 1-10. The pupils who complete all the 10 levels can attain a linguistic competence that enables them to use the language orally and in writing, and they will have the option of continuing to take education on a higher level where the language of instruction is Sami.


Sami 3

This is an alternative for pupils who know no Sami when they start learning this language, and they will thus benefit from spending more time on each level. In Sami 3, the pupils shall have satisfied the competence aims for levels 1-4 after Year 10. After Vg3 in programmes for general studies, the pupils


shall have satisfied the competence aims for levels 1-7. The pupils may choose to be assessed in accordance with the competence aims for either Sami 2 or Sami 3. The school must inform the pupils of this opportunity so they will be motivated to sit for the final examination after Sami 2. The pupils must decide this at the latest at the start of Year 10.

Basic skills

Basic skills are integrated in the competence aims where they contribute to the development of competence in the subject, while also being part of this competence. In the subject curriculum for Sami as a second language, the basic skills are understood as follows:


Being able to express oneself orally and in writing in Sami as a second language is a key element in the development of Sami language competence. These skills are important tools in the work to understand and use the language in increasingly varied and demanding contexts. Having oral skills means being able to listen, speak and assess the elements in a complex speech situation. Systematic training through various oral activities contributes to the development of oral skills. Writing is also a way of developing and structuring ideas and thoughts. Writing is a way of developing and structuring ideas and thoughts, but it is also a communication form and a method of learning.
Being able to read in Sami as a second language is part of the practical linguistic competence and means being able to read with understanding, and explore and reflect upon increasingly more demanding texts. Developing reading skills in Sami as a second language can also contribute to strengthening reading skills in general.
Having skills in mathematics in Sami as a second language means general concept development, reasoning and problem solving. Understanding quantities, amounts, calculations and measurements is also part of linguistic competence.
Being able to use digital tools in Sami as a second language is necessary to master new text forms and expressions. This opens for new learning arenas and allows new possibilities in the teaching of reading and writing, and for the production, composition and editing of texts. In this context it is vital to develop the ability to critically assess and use sources. Digital tools may support and develop the pupils' communication skills and presentations
