Abstract

This research focuses on the topic of teaching Libras (Brazilian Sign Language) to listeners as a second language. This course completion work aims to expose the legal instruments developed in the municipality of Porto Nacional – To to include the subject of Libras in the 4th and 5th years of Elementary School. The research theme is relevant, as the municipality of Porto Nacional is a pioneer in the State in offering this discipline to listeners, therefore, it could be a model for other municipalities in the state. For this, we used as a research methodology analysis of documentation made available by the Municipal Department of Education, which proposes to highlight the mechanisms implemented to create the subject, curriculum and execution of the lesson plan. We analyzed the data through studies of national legislation and international declarations relating to the topic. The theoretical foundations were based on authors such as: Vygotsky, Chomysky, Quadros, Luria, among others. The foundation of the documentary studies were: the Constitution of the Federative Republic of Brazil of 1988, Universal Declaration of Linguistic Rights, Law 10,436/2002, among others. The results of this research made it possible to identify which legal provisions were used as a basis for creating municipal regulations created by the Municipal Secretary of Education, which culminated in the Libras discipline in the municipality.
