Considerar as crianças e adultos Surdos como bilíngues - sua primeira língua é a Língua de Sinais (SL) e a segunda língua é aprendida via escrita - fornece aos profissionais um paradigma a ser utilizado para criar melhores oportunidades de aprendizagem. Neste artigo, a Língua de Sinais Grega ((G)SL)), como primeira língua (L1), é a língua base que usamos para apresentar algumas considerações metodológicas de ensino e aprendizagem bilíngue. Este trabalho é o resultado de uma longa jornada desde o pensamento inicial do Currículo de Língua de Sinais Americana e sua influência no desenvolvimento do currículo de (G)SL na Grécia. O artigo discute materiais multimídia educacionais inovadores que são facilmente acessados por meio de portais online, desenvolvidos para o ensino de (G)SL como L1 para crianças surdas da pré-escola e do ensino fundamental. Neste trabalho, a LS como L1 é um recurso que permite que crianças surdas aprendam uma L2 via escrita, apoiando suas capacidades de aquisição bilíngue. Ao desenvolver currículos e materiais de apoio, consideramos críticos dois importantes componentes fundamentais: a importância de sinalizadores nativos Surdos e quase nativos como modelos linguísticos para crianças surdas, seus pais e professores; e o desenvolvimento e interação com materiais educativos digitais. Esse modelo bilíngue pode ser incorporado em qualquer LS. A (G)SL) é usada como um modelo para exibir práticas inovadoras mesclando a LS (L1), a escrita (L2), tecnologia e materiais criativos de instrução e avaliação para aprimorar o aprendizado. Para tais desenvolvimentos, é fundamental a colaboração entre profissionais de educação e tecnologia e membros da Comunidade Surda. Descrevemos material multimídia bilíngue inovador maximizado pela compreensão da natureza visual da LS e suas vantagens para implementação nas escolas. O penúltimo objetivo é que os alunos Surdos se tornem aprendizes bilíngues bem-sucedidos que possam funcionar plenamente no mundo de hoje e de amanhã.
