Formação do leitor surdo na perspectiva dos multiletramentos: estratégias de ensino e aprendizagem

Linked to the Reading and Reader Training research line of the Graduate Program in Literature at the University of Passo Fundo (UPF), this study analyzes reading comprehension in the learning of Portuguese Language (L2) by Deaf individuals, in light of multiliteracies.
