O uso da Língua Portuguesa na modalidade oral: uma reflexão sobre a língua de instrução nas aulas do curso de Letras Libras - UFAM

Abstract

The Letras Libras faculty appears in order to meet the teaching-learning needs of the deaf people. With this in mind, it is necessary to reflect on the training of professionals who will work in classrooms as teachers, whether teaching the language as a first language or as an additional language. This research has the general objective of reflecting on the use of the Portuguese language in its oral modality in the classroom spaces of the Letras Libras course - UFAM. The specific objectives are to identify the reasons that lead the faculty of the course to use this resource and to verify the Political Pedagogical Project of the Course regarding the topic of language of instruction. The theoretical contribution was based on Quadros, Cerny, Pereira (2008), Albres (2014), Carmo (2022), Santiago, Andrade (2013) and Santos (2018). About the PPC, the research was based on UFAM (2014). The research has a qualitative character and had documental research and field research as methodological reference. Bardin (2016) was used for data analysis procedures. Six professors, currently acting in the Letras Libras college, were interviewed. The results showed that the use of the Portuguese language as a teaching-learning strategy is dependent on many factors outside the teacher's control. As a contribution, it is suggested that the PPC be revised, recommending Libras as instruction and interaction language.
