Paper Abstract:
|
The present work was inspired by the wish to contribute to the bilingual alphabetisation of deaf children whose mother tongue is Libras (Brazilian Sign Language). In this light, we came up with an internet environment to encourage deaf children to engage in informal conversations and, at a later stage, in educational activities (both oral and written). In order to create the environment, we first carried out extensive research as an essential methodological step, which then led to the establishment of three sets of requirements. These requirements gave rise to the possibilities offered by the system, as well as to its general interface and interaction solutions. Finally, we described the overall features of the technological tool proposed in the present paper. |
