Surdez e educação: aspectos históricos e práticas inclusivas no ensino de língua inglesa.

Abstract

This work aims to discuss some aspects related to inclusive practices in relation to the deaf student, in the context of English language teaching. Specifically, we aim to recover some historical aspects around the deaf people; discuss basic concepts in the interface teaching and deafness; discussing about inclusive practices in the training of foreign language teachers for deaf students; and reflect the importance of adapting English language materials to the deaf student. Based on the objectives presented, this work was carried out from Balbino-Neto; (2008), Salles et al (2004), Sacks (1998), Brazil (2005), Alves & Gotti (2007), Guarinello (2007), Silva (2006) and Gesser (2009). In methodological terms, we characterize this research as a bibliographical, qualitative. We brought a historical account, through which we could see the existence of some practices towards deaf people through the ages. Through discussion of some concepts, such as deafness, didactic material, inclusive education, etc., we came to more particular questions, such as some reflections on the adaptation of didactic material for the deaf, among other aspects.
