Carta a Vygotsky acerca da educação de surdos

Abstract

This article treats of a dialogue with Vygotsky regarding his text written in 1925 concerning the educacion of the deaf. In this writting I observe what seems to be a contradiction between his theoretical construction of language and his intellectual position defending oralism as a basis for a pedagogic proposes in the education of deaf people. The arguments for this assertion are based on the author's theoretical references about the process of acquisition and development of language and its relationship with thought. In this dialogue other important authors such as Piaget, Bakhtin and Saussure are considered substantiate the central argument.
