The focus of this paper is to propose an evaluation tool to assess the teaching-learning process of Brazilian Sign Language (Libras) to hearing students in Higher Education. The current Brazilian laws dealing with the accessibility of the deaf and the teaching of Libras will be concisely posited and argued, and after that an overview on linguistic aspects of Libras will be highlighted prior to discussing the teaching of this language as a Second Language (L2). Also, it will be discussed briefly the relevance of using strategies to Libras teaching as L2 and then the proposal to evaluate teaching and learning processes of the language at stake will be finally described. As a conclusion, developing tools as well as presenting proposals for the teaching of sign languages might be ways to highlight and discuss pedagogical issues about the teaching of the sign languages. The paper outcomes are useful for scholars and learners who are researching and implementing tools for Libras teaching as L2.
Este ensaio tem como objetivo refletir e fazer uma aproximação entre os campos da História da Cultura Escrita e da Educação de Surdos. A fim de se alcançar este propósito, as questões elencadas para discussão foram: algumas considerações acerca do campo da História Cultural da escrita; a educação dos surdos numa perspectiva histórica; a língua de sinais – uma modalidade linguística viso-gestual; a vis ão da surdez numa perspectiva social e os desafios do letramento na educação bilíngue para surdos. Ventilam-se, pois, possibilidades de investigações num campo ainda desafiador e não desbravado: a história cultural das práticas de escrita de sujeitos surdos.
