Abstract
This work supports the issue of accessibility for deaf students in Higher Education, developed by the Inovar+ project with support from CEAD (Coordination of Open and Distance Education). Its objective is to understand, from the perspective of Brazilian Sign Language (Libras)/Portuguese Translators and Interpreters (TILSP), the use of the Bilingual Libras/Portuguese Dictionary as a pedagogical tool in the communication process in the classroom, in a Higher Education Institution (HEI) in the Zona da Mata Mineira region. To glimpse the possibilities of support provided by the Dictionary in this context and data collection, we applied workshops with this audience, taking into account the qualitative approach of the research in two campuses of the same institution. Thus, the workshops with TILSP focused on presenting the Dictionary as a translation tool, using it as an instrument to consult the signs of the areas of knowledge of the disciplines taught. Thus, throughout the interaction process with the workshops, we perceived the obstacles and potentialities of the ICT (Information and Communication Technology) in question. As results, we verified TILSP pointed out positively the viability of the tool as support in the process of acquiring Libras as second language for hearing individuals. Therefore, we hope that after data collection and necessary improvements, the tool will be used in the classroom as support in the teaching and learning process of deaf students in Higher Education, aiming to minimize obstacles that hinder this process.
