The present work is the result of a bibliographic research that sought to analyze whether the late acquisition of LIBRAS can interfere in the learning and development of L2, Portuguese language in written form, by deaf students. The study initially addresses the issue of hearing loss and the education of the Deaf in the country. The text then discusses possible proposals for teaching the Portuguese language to deaf people as a second language. Highlighting the process of language acquisition by the deaf child, emphasizing how this development occurs in certain stages of life and how the school can help and develop this learning. The main bibliographic sources used were Quadros (1997), Pereira (2014), Skliar (1997). It is concluded that the teaching of Portuguese as L2 through LIBRAS, is still recent, but with positive results in schools, as these are already involving the deaf student in this process as soon as there is learning from LIBRAS, however it is not necessarily a factor determinant that there is a right age for learning L2, since there are several factors that can interfere positive or negatively in this learning, such as the way in which the hearing impaired student is inserted into the teaching and learning process.
