Abstract

This undergraduate thesis, entitled portuguese Language Teaching as L2 (Second Language) for deaf public elementary school students in Bayeux - PB, aims to observe how the teaching of Portuguese as L2 occurs to deaf students in written mode. Teaching a second language is not always na easy task, mainly, when it is about teaching deafs that are already inserted in their deaf culture, in the point, brazilian deafs that are inserted in the Brazilian Sign Language. As a theoretical support for the production of this undergraduate thesis, it was based on authors such as Salles (2004), Ströbel (2007), Silva and Souza (2010), Sofiato and Reily (2012), Quadros (1997, 2006, 2012), Del Ré (2006), Perlin (1998) and Cavalcanti (2011). The analysis were applied to the regular classroom teacher, the resource room, the Brazilian Sign Language interpreter and, mainly, the deaf who is the central subject of these actions. The questionnaires were fundamental to understand how the teaching of L2 was transmitted to deaf studant of the monitored school. In this way, the main points in terms of quality of teaching Portuguese as a second language for the deaf were discussed, and one of these points was the use of visual aids to improve the learning of the deaf people of this research. Another point was the partnership from this deaf student with people around, that is the regular classroom teacher, the resource room teacher, the Brazilian Sign Language interpreter and, essentially, the family.
