Words and images are used to convey meaning in any language to address the various needs of society. Environmental awareness (EA) is a crucial global issue, and using pictorial representations in English textbooks can promote EA among students. This study analyses the pictorial topics in Iraqi English Foreign Language (IEFL) textbooks to demonstrate how authors utilized pictures to enhance EA among students. The semiotic analysis is based on Peirce's model (1931) that focuses on pictorial topics related to environmental issues to improve ecological awareness. The research examines the pictorial topics in the IEFL textbook entitled The Series of English for Iraq published by Garnet Publishing Ltd, which consists of 22 books, 12 textbooks and 10 activity books. The results revealed that 11 EA issues are represented in the pictorial topics, showcasing different ecological problems and their solutions, including both local and global issues.
