Abstract
This paper aims to present and analyze an episode regarding the application of a didactic
activity, in the written modality, on the study of the Portuguese Language related to Alphabetical Order,
withdrawn from a Portuguese Language TB2 adapted to Libras3
. The participants in this investigation are
deaf fifth-grader elementary school students in a special and bilingual school, public system, in the state
of Minas Gerais, Brazil. The respondents’ answers reveal that the intention to promote a second language
learning environment, led by a pedagogical activity that has not been experienced in their first language,
makes it unfeasible to access and reflect on L2.4 The sign language adaptation of the didactic activity did
not help the understanding of the exercise proposal as in the Portuguese language. In summary, it is
evinced that didactic materials with proposals for adaptation and accessibility in SL5 for deaf students are
inadequate and do not build learning in L2.
