Abstract

The article presented has as a general objective the identification of the type of language used in the interaction between the deaf student and the school community, having as specific objectives: to know the forms of interaction and discover possible causes that prevent this interaction. To achieve these objectives, a qualitative bibliographic research was carried out and a questionnaire with multiple choice answers and a question with an open answer was carried out. In which we approached and reflected on the following questions: Language and language, Libras, deafness and hearing impairment, and inclusive education. The results obtained indicate that the interaction occurs for the majority of respondents in a satisfactory way, although Libras (Brazilian Sign Language) is not used, but especially through mime, which is according to Gesser (2009), a form of ignorance that Libras is the way deaf people express their ideas, being a language with all the characteristics and properties present in all oral human languages. Keywords: interaction; deafness; inclusive education.
