O pape do professor como mediador no ensino da Língua Portuguesa para o aluno com Transtorno do Espectro Autista – TEA

Abstract

This course completion work is a descriptive bibliographical research, addressing the role of the mediator teacher in teaching the Portuguese language to the student with autism spectrum disorder - TEA. Autism Spectrum Disorder (TEA) is a neurological condition that affects the development and social interaction of people. Students with autism often have difficulties in learning the Portuguese language, which requires a differentiated approach by teachers. In this context, the role of the mediating teacher is essential to promote the teaching and inclusion of these students, helping them to reach their maximum potential in language learning. Teaching Portuguese language to students with TEA presents specific challenges, since these students may have difficulties in understanding and expressing language. In this context, the role of the mediating teacher is fundamental to provide an inclusive and effective learning environment. The present work aims to analyze and discuss the role of the mediating teacher in teaching the Portuguese language to students with TEA, as well as the importance of academic and continuing teacher training and facilitating strategies in the learning process. Therefore, the teaching of the Portuguese language to students with such a disorder requires the performance of a mediating teacher who had knowledge about the characteristics of the disorder and adapted pedagogical strategies. The mediating teacher plays a crucial role in promoting inclusion and ensuring effective access to Portuguese language learning for these students. It is essential that the teacher is prepared to adapt the curriculum, use mediation strategies and have adequate resources, aiming at the development of language skills and the promotion of educational success. Therefore, this bibliographic work is expected to contribute positively to the insertion of inclusion and the full development of the learning of students with autism spectrum disorder - TEA
