Deaf Persons

Libras is the mother language of people who are Deaf or Hard of Hearing (D/HH) in Brazil, characterizing them as people who use visual cues and signs to communicate with the world. Specialized researchers and educators affirm that people who are D/HH first have to be literate in their mother language (L1, sign language) in order to learn the second language (L2, written language). The teaching-learning process of written language as L2 is still a challenge, subject of many investigations and experimentations. This paper presents results and discussions from exploring and understanding problems and solutions of the design for Deaf persons who are sign language (SL) users to adopt an Assistive Technology (AT) product. This AT product refers to a solution for use in the teaching-learning process of Brazilian Portuguese written language as L2. Our methodological approach is to follow the phases of a framework in proposition, which combines concepts of Co-design, adoption of AT, HumanComputer Interaction lifecycle, Semantic Numbers theory and Writing Process. The framework proposed aims to include codesigners in every phase to guarantee higher chances of being accessible and potentially adopted by the stakeholders. Our results were obtained from two semio-participatory workshops, in which we worked with the Stakeholders Diagram and the Evaluation Frame as co-design artifacts. In the former case, many problems, questions, solutions and ideas were presented by stakeholders, to whom cultural diversity and multimodality were central aspects to be considered in the design of an AT product for Deaf people who are SL users.

Teaching Grammar

The goal of this review was to study about the implementation of Mind Mapping in teaching grammar in the second semester of students of the Department of English Education at IAIN Surakarta. Observation and documentation were the instruments for collecting the data. These instruments were used to collect data on the Mind Mapping process in grammar teaching, problems and solutions. The data analysis technique started with data reduction, data display and verification. First, the findings revealed that the implementation of Mind Mapping in teaching grammar was only used to provide an overview of the material. It was developed by elaborating, questioning, and responding techniques or methods for transferring the material. Mind Mapping made the students active in giving feedback and become a measure in assessing  how far the students understood the material during the teaching-learning process, the students were very eager to analyze the material using Mind Mapping. It could be seen from their direct reactions during the teaching-learning process and observed the work of the student in the classroom. Second, there are some advantages to using mind mapping in grammar teaching. They were; (1) giving students an overview of the concept of grammar material; (2) making grammar easier to understand; and (3) helping students to easily memorize the concept of English grammatical structure.

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.

  Contexto: Existen muchos aspectos relativos al proceso de enseñanza-aprendizaje en natación que no han sido objeto de estudio. Objetivo: El propósito de la presente investigación fue verificar si el perfeccionamiento de la técnica de crol es más eficaz cuando se practica crol de forma exclusiva, o cuando se realizan sesiones de los cuatro estilos. Método: 26 estudiantes universitarios de sexo masculino fueron aleatoriamente asignados a dos grupos: Grupo crol (GC): Realizó exclusivamente sesiones de crol. Grupo estilos (GE): Realizó sesiones de los cuatro estilos de nado. Resultados: Una vez finalizado el programa de intervención de ocho semanas, ambos grupos mejoraron la técnica de crol. Sin embargo, las mejoras obtenidas por el GE fueron significativamente superiores a las logradas por el GC en el test de 25 m crol (p=.001), en la longitud de ciclo (p=.006), en la velocidad de nado promedio (p y en el índice de nado (p=.002). Conclusión: El perfeccionamiento de la técnica de crol en varones en edad universitaria es más eficaz si se realizan sesiones de los cuatro estilos de nado, que si se practica exclusivamente crol.  Abstract. Context: Many aspects related to the teaching-learning process in swimming have not been subject of study. Objective: The purpose of the present investigation was to verify which methodological approach is more effective in improving the crawl technique: Exclusive practice of crawl, or practicing the four swimming strokes. Method: 26 male university students were randomly allocated into two groups: Crawl Group (GC): They exclusively performed crawl sessions. Swimming strokes group (GE): They underwent sessions of all the four swimming strokes. Results: After completing an eight-week intervention program, both groups enhanced their crawl technique. However, improvements observed in the GE were significantly greater than those achieved by the GC in the 25-metres crawl test (p <.001), stroke length (p=.006), average swimming speed (p=.000), and stroke index (p=.002). Conclusion: Practicing all four swimming strokes is more effective than crawl swimming only when it comes to improving the crawl technique in college-aged males.

This paper summarizes some results of the first ethnographic research study conducted in Colombia in three different elementary schools for deaf children in which bilingualism (sign-language and written-language) is starting to be emphasized. This study focuses on the teaching of mathematics in classrooms for deaf children using contexts proclaimed as bilingual. The participants in the study were first grade teachers. The analysis presented in this paper illustrates the struggles that teachers experience teaching arithmetic in such a context. The teaching of arithmetic using bilingualism requires three types of semiotic registers: sign-language and written-Spanish, and the Hindu-Arabic numeration system. The analysis indicates some puzzling teaching learning issues interweaving language and mathematics. These issues are of linguistic and communicative, social and cultural, and cognitive and pedagogical nature.
