Abstract

Language has the potential to construct and reconstruct ideologies among masses through formal education. Formal education is also used to teach about the natural phenomena in the form of “Sustainable Eco-Conscious Environment.” The present study uses Multimodal Analysis, i.e. textual and visual analysis of Book I of Grade XI English Language Textbook to figure out the portrayal of environmental content. The study aims to explore the eco-representation in PCTB’s Book I of Grade XI. The study opts for qualitative analysis to unveil the environmental content within the selected PCTB English textbook. The findings highlight a strong lack of eco-sensitive content, particularly in the visual domain of Book I of Grade XI. The study is significant as it will help learners to think outside the anthropocentric box. In addition, the study strongly recommends to the curriculum designers the inculcation of eco-sensitive content in PCTB textbooks at all levels.
