Resumo
This study originated from the urge to observe, analyze and discuss the educational
experiences at the inclusive school in Brazil, more specifically the beliefs of the
participants about the English language learning and teaching processes to the deaf
learners. After preliminary observations in this context, I decided to focus on the
perceptions of a former deaf High School student whose participation in the English
class interaction was considered above average by her two former teachers and theses
teachers beliefs about the processes of learning and teaching the English Language to
deaf students. Thus, a retrospective of the classes in which the student participant in this
research was made by the two teachers in order to describe her performance. A second
step was to meet the participant, who, at the moment, is doing the Pedagogy course at a
university in Goiás. During these meetings, video recorded interviews mediated by a
sign language interpreter were made. Moreover, the three participants, i.e. the two
teachers and the deaf student also answered a questionnaire. Based on these data, a
survey on the beliefs of one of the teachers and the deaf student, participants in this
study, was made. In relation to the theoretical references followed by this study, reviews
were made about the following three major themes: inclusive education from a
socioanthropogical perspective; Vygotsky s social intreactionist theory and its relation
to learning; as well as the theory on learners and teachers beliefs based on authors such
as Barcelos (1999, 2004), Almeida-Filho (1993), Richards and Lockart, (1994). The
qualitative research was the methodology adopted to collect and analyze the data.
Instruments like interviews, questionnaires and field notes were used in order to
triangulate the data and interpret the results. Finally, the data analyses reveal that
teaching English to deaf students demands the adoption of new perspectives and
attitudes towards the process by practitioners.
