| dc.description.abstract | In Brazil, the issue of inclusion in education is a matter of extreme importance to be discussed, mainly when it refers to the teaching of some foreign languages to deaf students who don't recognized Portuguese as their first language. Considering this issue, the main objective of this work was to carry out a mapping of English language teaching to deaf students of Elementary School II and High School, in the public state education network in the city of Pato Branco-PR. Specifically, it intended to investigate the theoretical and practical relation in the implementation of inclusive educational politics in regular education of Elementary School II and High School in Pato Branco, as well as to investigate the pedagogical practices that could, in the view of the deaf students, help in the English teaching-learning process in the classroom. The development of the work was based on the study of official documents ((BRASIL, 1998; e PARANÁ, 2008;PDC, among others) and laws (Law n. 10.436/2002, Decree º 5.626, Decree 4.176 and others), besides theoretical principles related to the teaching of the English Language (BARCELOS, 2017; LIMA, 2009), inclusion (CAMPBELL, 2016; MITLER, 2003; STAINBACK, 1999; among others), identity (BHABHA, 1998; HALL, 2001, 2005; MARTINS, 2004; PERLIN, 1998), language development (BAKHTIN, 2010, 2016; BENVENISTE, 1988; SAUSSURE, 1999;VIGOTSKY, 1991, 1993, 1998, 2001; VOLÓCHINOV, 2017) and deafness (GESSER, 2009; LOPES, 2007; QUADROS, 2007; SANTANA, 2007, SKILIAR 2010, among others). It is a qualitative interpretive ethnographical research (CLARETO 2003; MAANES, 1979; MOITA LOPES, 1994; MOREIRA, 2008), which follows Sociodiscursive Interactionsim theoretical and methodological perspective (BRONCKART, 2006, 2012). Data collection and generation was carried out by means of a review of literature related to the theme, twenty-nine hours of classroom observation and a questionnaire applied to research participants. Participants were five deaf students enrolled within the State network (Elementary School II and High School), in 2017, of the municipality already mentioned. Data was treated by means of the content analysis framework, including voices, person index and modalizations. Analysis results allowed us to know that: a) there are some gaps between inclusive official laws and its practical implementation; and b) there are many factors that undermine the English teaching and learning process to deaf people, among them the need to adapt didactic materials, since by the lack of listening, one of deaf people‘s sensorial characteristics is the visual sensitivity. By the end, we believe that the pedagogical practices suggested by this study, added to others already existed and from other studies, can meaningfully contribute to the inclusive qualitative advancement of the English teaching-learning process to deaf people. | |
