LIMA, Ezer Wellington Gomes. EDUCATION AND DEAFNESS: written language as an instrument of social exclusion. Revista Teias [online]. 2023, vol.24, n.73, pp.148-159.  Epub Aug 24, 2023. ISSN 1982-0305.  https://doi.org/10.12957/teias.2023.74259.

Theoretical review in the field of education for the deaf, whose objective was to reflect on the importance of written language skills in these students schoolhood. Based on exploratory conceptual research, based on authors such as Senna (2010), Auroux (1992), Delacampagne (1997) and others, the survey is justified by the need to properly analyze the predominance of the Portuguese language as an instrument of power and a singular tool of knowledge access, what shall be aggregated to Brazilian legal determinations that empower and recognize signal languages. Survey’s results indicate that, although bilingualism in deaf education is defended by several authors, many of these students are still harmed by the lack of adequate stimuli to their cognitive, socio-affective, linguistic and political-cultural potential, which result in considerable losses in written language skills development. In face of these findings, this survey concludes for the necessity of (re)drawing more appropriate methods and/or strategies for teaching Portuguese grammar to the deaf, respecting the limits and possibilities of each learner.

Keywords : special education; deaf student; written language.
