OS IMPACTOS DA OFERTA DE LIBRAS NOS CURSOS DE FORMAÇÃO DE PROFESSORES: UM OLHAR PARA O CURRÍCULO DE LETRAS DA UNEB

The aim of this article is to reflect on the offer of the Brazilian Sign Language (Libras) in teacher training courses, more specifically in the UNEB Degree Course in Letters, with the current Project of the Language Course as a research source the Department of Human Sciences and Technologies (DCHT), campus XXII, of the State University of Bahia (UNEB), in addition to the curricular resizing proposal that is being discussed in the collegiates, in order to think about how this offer can impact on the training of  Portuguese teachers, when facing with deaf students in the classroom. Methodologically, this work, of a qualitative nature, took place through a bibliographic research, with theoretical support from authors such as Perlin and Strobel (2014), Skliar (1997), Lopes (2007), Strobel (2008), as well as the documents Officials dealing with the mandatory Libras offer, followed by a documentary research, through the analysis of the DCHT XXII Letters Course Project and the menu of the Libras component, whose offer is currently semi-presential. As a result of this study, it can be seen that the supply of Libras in just one semester, with a workload of  60 hours, is insufficient to enable the teachers in training to deal with deaf students who perhaps exist  in their classroom. Even so, it must be recognized that Libras' offer has allowed to deconstruct myths and prejudices with regard to deaf culture and the Brazilian Sign Language.
