A língua portuguesa na modalidade escrita no contexto de metodologias bilíngues para estudantes surdos: uma proposta didático-pedagógica na Unidade Integrada Duque de Caxias

Abstract

The research addresses the issue of Portuguese Language in written form for deaf students, having as locus the institution Duque de Caxias Integrated Unit, in the city of São Luís/MA. The main objective of the work is to investigate bilingual methodologies in the teaching of Portuguese as a written language to deaf students with a view to the development of a booklet of educational guidelines for teachers of the school researched. It has as theoretical basis relevant studies to the theme: Almeida (2020), Montoan (2015), Moura (2015), Honora (2014), Damázio (2007), Santana (2007), Quadros (2008), Carvalho (2005) and Goldfeld (2002). This is a qualitative research, whose approach method was a case study, regarding the methodological approach. The research participants were five Portuguese Language teachers; two coordinators and one general manager. The data collection instruments applied in the proposal were based on participant observation, semi-structured interviews and questionnaires. The questionnaires, due to the Covid-19 pandemic period, were applied through the Google Forms application. The results show that the methodologies adopted in Portuguese Language classes are developed within a listener level, which means that these methods do not consider the person with deaf blind ness as part of the linguistic process of the classes, but this finding is due to lack of training in the area and accessible materials for this practice to be more present in schools. The work presents a proposal for an educational product that will serve to encourage bilingual practices in the classes of Portuguese Language in written modality.
