Description
Summary:The main objective of this article is to present some pedagogical strategies for the teaching of Portuguese to deaf children. In order to achieve this goal, some reflections are central, such as the processes of language acquisition, the teaching of Libras as a first language (L1) for the deaf, and the teaching of Portuguese as a second language (L2). The methodology was based on theoretical and qualitative approaches, descriptive in nature. As for the classification of the study, we opted for bibliographical and documental research. As a result, we present some suggestions for pedagogical strategies for teaching Portuguese to deaf children, based on bilingual education and focusing on strengthening interactions and social communication. The research allowed the understanding of the language acquisition process and the importance of the acquisition of Libras as L1 to support the discussion about the teaching of Portuguese Language as L2. We concluded that, in the case of deaf children, Libras will serve as a linguistic basis in negotiations to promote the teaching of the Portuguese language. Therefore, the educational environment must provide linguistic opportunities rich in information and interactions, understanding that each language has its distinct characteristics, as well as its role and social values.
