Reusabilidade e redirecionamento de Objetos de Aprendizagem de Línguas para alunos surdos e ouvintes

Abstract

Language Learning Objects (LLO) have gradually gained more space in the teaching and learning of languages due to their low cost, their ease of adaptation and their reusability. Concerning the inclusion policy of the Ministry of Education, which foresees the inclusion of deaf students in the same learning environment of hearings, it is observed that the Portuguese Language (PL) teacher, in this situation, is faced with the difficulty of having to teach this language as a mother tongue to hearing students and as a foreign language to deaf students. Based on this problem, this study aimed to investigate the use of a LLO for the teaching of PL to deaf and hearing students through the creation of a LLO geared to hearings and its repurposing to deaf students. Furthermore, the study intended to reflect about the reusability and repurposability of LLO to see if, after repurposing, the result is a new LLO or the same LLO adapted. To achieve these objectives, this thesis used two data collections: 1) the application of a questionnaire for deaf high school students of a public school in Pelotas, Southern Brazil, and their PL teacher aiming to get their opinion about which aspects should be taken into account in the adaptation process of the LLO for deaf students; 2) the use of a LLO with five hearing students of the 1st year of high school and the use of a repurposed LLO with four deaf students of the same school year. For the second data collection, the following instruments were used: Camtasia Studio 8, annotated observation, online Google Docs forms and a digital camera. After analyzing the data, it was concluded that the LLO can collaborate with PL teaching in inclusive classrooms as long as adjustments consistent with the linguistic reality of deaf students are made and deaf and hearing students‟ preferences are taken into account in the elaboration of the LLO
