Uma proposta para o ensino-aprendizagem da sintaxe da língua inglesa para a pessoa com deficiência visual

Abstract

Including blind or visually impaired students in the teaching-learning process of English represents a challenge for the Brazilian educational system. This final work seeks to include this audience in the English teaching-learning process and, therefore, proposes an innovative pedagogical approach for teaching the syntax of sentences in Simple Present for blind people. With the aim of overcoming the limitations of traditional methods that often depend on visual resources, the study proposes the adaptation of the educational toy "Cuisenaire Scale” for a tactile syntax teaching context. Thus, the idea is to use the different sizes of the blocks of the pedagogical game, so that blind learners can identify them, and label the pieces with their syntactic and morphological functions of English syntax. This allows blind learners to construct interrogative, declarative/affirmative and negative sentences using the blocks of Scale Cuisenaire. The research is justified by the scarcity of inclusive teaching materials and the need for methods that respect the sensory particularities of learners with visual impairments. It is an instrument that facilitates the acquisition of linguistic knowledge in this additional language and also promotes a more active participation of blind students in the process of learning the Simple Present.
