O ensino de inglês para alunos surdos: um enfoque pedagógico

Abstract

The purpose of this article is to understand and discuss the educational relations that make up the school environment of the deaf student, and how much the students’ knowledge of the world can influence the development of topics in the classroom and how Libras can act as a bridge and a tool in teaching. We also analyzed the legal contents that guide this didactic modality and the different approaches of the education of the deaf that, over time, were adopted and changed, focusing on the bilingualism, which was examined here in a more specific way. In addition to a theoretical study, a field research was used, in which it was possible to acquire information and impressions that, when aligned with the theme of this article, provided a more specific and intimate look at the analysis. An interview with the teacher of the observed class was used in order to know the impressions that she has about the topics of this article. It was concluded that there are still legal and cultural obstacles to the realization of this type of education, but that there are strategies by which learning can take place and that the discussion of the theme favors the improvement of academic work in this area.
