Ensino de ciências e biologia para Estudantes surdos: desafios do tradutor-intérprete de língua brasileira de sinais

Abstract

The present work is a bibliographical review on the teaching of Science and Biology for deaf students considering the role of the translator-interpreter. Thus, the article aims to analyze in the literature the perceptions and difficulties faced by interpreters in Science and Biology classes in regular schools. This objective seeks to answer the following questions: How does the lack of signs of scientific terms interfere with the performance of Libras interpreters and the translation and interpretation process? What strategies can be inserted into the translatorinterpreter’s practice to improve the interpretation of these terms?. In this way, the publications were selected based on the descriptors and submitted to the criterion of answering the proposed problem. Thus, the results showed that the main challenge for the interpreter in science classes is scientific language. Finally, in order to overcome this barrier, it is clear that some methods can be adopted to assist the interpreter, such as: the use of technologies, the use of visual resources by the teacher, collective planning, and the creation of term signs. Keywords: interpreter; science teaching; deaf students.
