Norge skal lære fra israelsk språksuksess med morsmålsundervisning
Published on 04/02/12 at 01:24:40 GMT by Redaksjonen

Norway will send a delegation composed of Sami representatives and scientists to Israel on a study tour to learn about the Israeli success of native language instruction.

The delegation is on a project run by the County of Nordland to strengthen Sami language education. Lavangen municipality is responsible for the practical development while the University of Nordland is responsible for the technical guidance. Head of Information Hildegunn Hansen at Israel's embassy to accompany the group.



A delegation Sami travel in February to Israel to learn about how the Israelis have revived Hebrew language training and done remarkably effective.

The Sami community is struggling to take back the language, says Lars Roar Halonen told the newspaper the day. He is working on language education for children in Lavangen municipality in southern Troms.

While Sami is strong in areas of Finnmark, where the Sami are a majority, the situation is far more challenging in areas of Troms and Nordland, where the Sami are a minority.



Halonen believes that Israel has achieved results in the language is incomprehensible. He points out that the starting point was difficult in that the Hebrew as late as after the war was only a religious language of most Jews. Now there are millions who have Hebrew as their mother tongue, he told the newspaper the day.

Ambitions in the Sami language project is far more modest, given that only around 40,000 Sami live in Norway.



Previously he be picked up inspiration from Wales, who have been to much of the language field, but the Welsh have taken their ideas from Israel. The same reference, the Sami received from others who have managed to revitalize endangered languages.

The delegation will also meet representatives of the Israeli Ministry of Education and the Hebrew University and visit the Holocaust museum Yad Vashem.
