The internationalization of Brazilian public education requires tools that bridge the gap between traditional English language teaching and the demands of global communication. Digital platforms like ePals.com offer structured intercultural exchanges, combining language learning with the development of digital literacies and multimodal communication skills. These technologies enable authentic interactions while addressing national curricular goals, provided they are implemented with careful pedagogical mediation and alignment with Brazil's educational framework.

Adapted from: SANTIAGO, M. E. V.;DIAS, R. Using ePals.com in English classes: A tool for internationalization of public elementary education in Brazil. Available at: https://revistas.pucsp.br/esp/article/view/38051.

Identify the alternative below that describes how the integration of platforms like ePals.com address the challenge of internationalizing English language teaching in Brazilian public schools while meeting contemporary educational demands:

Through complete replacement of Portuguese-language instruction with English immersion, prioritizing global communication over local cultural preservation.
By focusing exclusively on grammar drills and standardized testing through digital worksheets to ensure uniform proficiency metrics.
Through unregulated student-led social media interactions that prioritize informal language acquisition over curricular alignment.
By facilitating pedagogically structured intercultural exchanges that combine authentic language use, digital literacies, and multimodal communication within the framework of Brazil's national curriculum goals.
