ABSTRACT
In order to evaluate the usability of Emotion-LIBRAS and the potential use of website resources for people who are deaf, a pilot test was conducted with five deaf volunteer participants. Pre and post-test questionnaires were given, and a participant task with an observation form was used to gather the data. This double pilot testing was satisfactory, since the research questions were answered. With respect to Emotion-LIBRAS evaluation, we found that a semantic differential scale format may facilitate understanding the relation between bipolar emotions, and new emotions may be included. Regarding website resources, the preference for bilingual communication (signed and written language) was evidenced, also the desire for a dictionary that translates from sign to written language in websites because of the lack of fluency in written language.
