This article examines the pressing issue of finding effective methods for teaching the Yakut language to foreign students in the multicultural environment of the Republic of Sakha (Yakutia). The traditional approach to teaching Yakut as a foreign language is conducted in Russian, which creates certain cognitive barriers for students who do not have a sufficient command of Russian. The aim of this study is to identify the linguistic and methodological aspects of using English as a mediating language in the process of teaching Yakut. The scientific novelty of the work lies in conducting a systematic analysis of phonetic, lexical and grammatical parallels between the Yakut and English languages, which form the basis for the positive transfer of knowledge and skills. The authors summarize their practical experience of teaching the Yakut language to an international audience, including the participation of foreign students in various educational projects. The article proposes practical teaching methods and techniques that allow the effective use of English to overcome initial language barriers and ensure subsequent immersion in the Yakut language environment.
