Abstract

In recent decades, the education of the deaf in Brazil has been a recurring discussion, mainly following the implementation of language policies. However, when dealing with the Portuguese language, as a second language (L2), in the written form for these subjects, there is a gap. This is because there is no initial or continued training for teachers who teach this subject. The general objective of the research is to contribute to the improvement of teaching practice based on strategies that favor deaf students in developing their Portuguese language (LP) skills as an L2. The research is qualitative in nature with a bibliographic and autoethnographic nature. The instruments used were different documents and autoethnographic writing. It was found that despite advances in terms of formal education for deaf people, there is still a lot to be done, especially when it comes to training LP teachers as L2 for deaf people.
