A EDUCAÇÃO BILÍNGUE PARA ALUNOS SURDOS NUMA PERSPECTIVA CULTURALMENTE SENSÍVEL/RELEVANTE

Journal Title: Ideação - Year 2012, Vol 14, Issue 2

Abstract

The proposed aim here is to present a reflection on the possibility of a culturally sensitive/relevant bilingual education to deaf students. The bilingual education for deaf, reality assumed in Brazil in recognition of the struggle of deaf communities implemented in the Federal Decree Nº 5626/2005, advocates as bilingual education schools those where the sign language (called Libras in Brazil) and the written form of the Portuguese Language are languages of instruction used in the development of the whole educational process. By recognizing the right of deaf people to bilingualism, education systems open for this group of citizens the opportunity to recognize and be recognized in their linguistic and cultural difference. A bilingual education would become culturally sensitive/relevant if the visual modes of deaf students learning were considered and if the sociopolitical, linguistic and cultural demands were presented in pedagogical contexts as indicated by Bortoni- Ricardo (2003), Bortoni-Ricardo and Dettoni (2003) Erickson (1987), Ladson-Billings (1997) and Ladson Billings in an interview with Gandin et. al. (2002). This would help eliminate linguistic, cultural and other less visible barriers that arise in day-to-day living of the classroom between hearing teachers and deaf students.
