A IMPORTÂNCIA DO USO DAS TECNOLOGIAS DIGITAIS PARA O ENSINO-APRENDIZAGEM PARA SURDOS: UMA ABORDAGEM DISCURSIVA

Abstract

The linguistic-discursive development of the deaf is primarily gestural-visual, so it should be reflected how these digital resources are used for communication to happen in all areas of social interaction. This article aims to present the importance of the use of Digital Technologies in the classroom of the Fundamental Education II, as well as its impacts on the process of teaching-learning of the Portuguese Language, as a second language (L2) for deaf students. Based on a qualitative approach, and anchored in a literature review on the theme, the study analyzed how these contributions improved the development and skills of these students. From a field research conducted in a reference school for the deaf population in the city of Resende, state of Rio de Janeiro, it was possible to observe a greater perception of the student in relation to the L2, as a result of adaptations of the pedagogical materials within the Adaptive Platform Aprimora, and the professional training of the teacher who works with digital technologies. Taking a qualitative research approach, the discussions and analyses developed in this article were carried out under the theoretical-analytical support of the French line Discourse Analysis, in order to enable us a better understanding of the relevance of the use of digital technologies, as L2 teaching material for the deaf, promoting a more efficient and meaningful communication.
