A disciplina Língua Brasileira de Sinais nos currículos dos cursos de Pedagogia

Brazilian Sign Language signature in the pedagogy courses curricula. In 2002, the Law nº 10.436 was published determining the obligation of offering the Brazilian Signal Language (Libras) signature in all teaching graduation courses. Considering this measure, it was searched to characterize how the public Higher Education Institutions (HEI) in the States of Paraná and São Paulo are organizing the signature in Pedagogy courses. The curriculum analysis developed showed that most of the public HEI’s in the State of Paraná provides its inclusion, while in the State of São Paulo the estimate is 60%. Most of the syllabus covers topics including deaf students, deaf culture and Libras linguistic aspects.

Leitura em uma criança surda após equivalência de estímulos

This study aimed to evaluate the effects of a systematic teaching of relation between printed words and Brazilian Sign Language on the emergence of reading in one child with deafness, user of Brazilian Sign Language, diagnosed with deafness bi-lateral deep user of hearing, with 9 years and 4 months of age, enrolled in 4th year elementary school. Baseline evaluation selected nine words and their signs and figures to compose the teaching steps and tests that consisted of: (a) relationship between a sign and figure teaching, (b) the relationship between sign and printed word, (c) test of relationship between figure and the printed word and its symmetric (d) test signal in front of picture and the printed word. The participant learned the relationship between sign, figure and printed word and demonstrated reading. This procedure was effective for the participant to emit signals, verbally agreed with the community of Libras in front of textual stimuli, which is characterized as reading.

La enseñanza de la lengua española en cursos de profesorado a estudiantes brasileños:el foco en la gramática

Esta comunicación se enfoca en la enseñanza de la Lengua Española como Lengua Extranjera; en especial, en la enseñanza de la Gramática en cursos de Profesorado en Lengua Española en Brasil, los cuales suelen otorgar una doble titulación lingüística: los estudiantes se reciben de profesores de Lengua Portuguesa y de una Lengua Extranjera (LE), por ejemplo, Lengua Española. En estos cursos –y específicamente en la Faculdade de Ciências e Letras de Araraquara FCLAr y UNESP-, en la enseñanza de la Lengua Española, la gramática es trabajada de un modo lineal y secuencial, desde el primer año hasta el cuarto y último año de la carrera. En general, lo que se observa en el cuarto año, momento de la focalización en las estructuras morfosintácticas más avanzadas, es que todavía persisten dificultades lingüísticas de las estructuras básicas de uso y funcionamiento de la Lengua Española, lo cual implica un desplazamiento teórico-metodológico del quehacer didáctico del profesor, el cual tiene que adaptarse a las necesidades de cada grupo, una vez que el aprendizaje de la gramática es imprescindible en la formación de estos estudiantes en su formación académico-profesional. Utilizando el desarrollo de la reflexión crítica sobre el proceso de aprendizaje de la gramática de la Lengua Española/LE, articulado al trabajo futuro del estudiante como profesor, se pasa a trabajar con diversificadas estrategias didáctico-metodológicas, las cuales han resultado en un notable aprendizaje de la gramática, así como también en el rol de los actores en este proceso de enseñanza-aprendizaje.

Avaliação do ler e do escrever de surdos pela língua brasileira de sinais

The use of Brazilian Sign Language (BSL) in the education of deaf people is guaranteed by Brazilian laws, but its adoption in educational policies requires an adjustment in terms of stimulus and response modalities. This study aimed at characterizing reading and writing performances of four deaf students who are BSL users and are in early literacy phases. The assessment was performed through selection tasks – signaling and writing – using an evaluation and teaching procedure that is usually adopted with hearing children. The results replicated data that has been documented in hearing children: performance was satisfactory in copying and identity matching tasks among pictures and graphic stimulus; performance was lower in reading and dictation tasks. Data show that investment targets regarding reading and writing teaching conditions programming require adjustments that are more related to the communication modality than to the teaching procedures.
