• Abstract:

  This article aims to systematize some knowledge about bilingual education linked to environmental education. The research arose from professional situations experienced with deaf students at a public school in the city of Goioerê (PR). Therefore, we will characterize, bibliographically, 1. the basic principles about deafness, Brazilian Sign Language and deafness; 2. the legal and historical foundations of the deaf and the educational proposal in the education of the deaf; and 3. environmental education, Brazilian environmental legislation and the topic of urban afforestation. After diagnostic research in the field with deaf students, we sought to produce a repository of words – an online dictionary – in Sign language related to the theme “urban afforestation”, with the respective signs researched on the proposed theme.
