Abstract:

In today's world digital technologies have become an important part of our life and they are still continuing to capture new areas such as mobile and cloud technologies, wearable devices, "the Internet of things", satellite navigation and so forth. However, computer technologies are not developed enough in some spheres of education. In Russia, for instance, we are still having a serious problem integrating computer technologies into teaching process, especially in such field as teaching of the culture and the languages of indigenous small-numbered peoples of the North and the culture and the languages of northerners whose languages have recently acquired a written form. Nowadays a lot of small-numbered indigenous peoples of Russia don't still have educational software to provide educators with computer learning programs to help them teach their native language and culture. As I’m studying the Koryak language at the University I have decided to explore the question whether any works of literature and training literature in Koryak language are available on the net. And I have realized that it is difficult to find open internet education resources in Koryak language. Regrettably, electronic literature in Koryak language is hard to access. It is partly because of all necessary information and sources are put separately on websites, partly because a large number of publications can be found only on pirate or illegal sites and search engine optimization, in this regard, is not excellent. Owing to a lack of availability of open internet education resources, Koryak language is not very popular with young people and it can prevent them from learning the language. Consequently, compiling the interactive Russian-Koryak and Koryak-Russian dictionary may become the first step in processing of writing training manuals for teachers as well as students.
