Abstract

Abstract: The information arrives massively in society by means of texts that can be spoken, written, imagery and musical among many other possibilities. However, we are concerned about the access that individuals with hearing disability have to information in a society where the majority language is oral Portuguese and records are primarily through this oral language in written form. Reflecting on the potential of school as a possible environment to stimulate language acquisition and insertion in social practices, we highlight the visual literacy and computational thinking as important tools in schooling deaf students. This article aims to consider the process of linguistic and school development of students with hearing disability, highlighting the bilingual proposal as an important factor in this process, coupled with the use of strategies and accessible teaching materials. The methodology used was exploratory research of a narrative bibliographic nature, where we sought studies in the scientific bases and academic records on the subject. As a result, we identified that people with hearing disability have a visual potential that should be stimulated in the learning of content. As for bilingual materials for teaching the hearing disability, it is essential to consider the use of images in meaningful contexts. Through this research we conclude that image time is the time of the word, as it requires the bilingual teacher to create different materials for the students, promoting and presenting concepts in such a way that they are internalized and externalized effectively and with autonomy.
