ABORDAGEM CONTRASTIVA PORTUGUÊS/LIBRAS PARA O ENSINO DE SURDOS: UMA ANÁLISE DA PROPOSTA CURRICULAR DO MEC/2021

Abstract

The contrastive approach to language teaching gained special focus in the curricular proposal for teaching Portuguese as a second language for the deaf (PSLS), published by the Ministry of Education (MEC), in 2021, encouraging comparisons in the classroom between Portuguese and Brazilian sign language (Libras). This educational approach, however, raises some questions about the type of contrast to be carried out, about what content can be covered in comparative activities and also about the role of Libras and deaf culture in this teaching approach. Seeking to investigate these questions, the present study aims to describe and analyze the approach recommended by the MEC curricular guidance, for contrastive work in teaching PSLS, in the final years of primary and secondary education. The study is characterized as a bibliographical research, of a qualitative nature, and uses the content analysis technique to process the data, a procedure that seeks to qualify the information in a text based on the frequency of appearance of certain words and expressions ( Marconi and Lakatos, 2022). As a result, it was found that the focus of the content includes mechanisms that involve signed mediation, written mediation, research strategies and the exploration of deaf and hearing culture. Libras and deaf culture play a crucial role in the development of this teaching approach.
