A importância do material didático na educação bilíngue de surdos

Abstract

This Undergraduate Thesis addresses the Education of Deaf Students, with an emphasis on the importance of appropriate teaching materials in bilingual pedagogical practice. The study aims to analyze how these specific materials contribute to the teaching and learning of deaf students, considering their linguistic and cultural particularities. It highlights Brazilian Sign Language (Libras) as the first language (L1) and Portuguese as the second language (L2), emphasizing the need to guide families and teachers about the linguistic rights of deaf children and the role of bilingualism in schools. The research is based on the principles of bilingual pedagogy, addressing historical, educational, and linguistic aspects related to the challenges of literacy for deaf students. Furthermore, it discusses the development of teaching materials in Libras, grounded in pedagogical experiences that promote language acquisition, knowledge construction, and the autonomy of the deaf student. The theoretical framework, supported by authors such as Quadros (1997), Gesser (2012), and Agrella (2012), contributes to understanding inclusive and effective pedagogical practices aimed at educators, families, and professionals involved in Deaf Education.
