Global Citizenship Education has established itself as an essential component of educational policies across the globe; therefore, this research study scrutinizes the incarnation of the principles and the competencies of GCE in an English language textbook. The content analysis of textbook New Prospects is undertaken via a combination of guidelines from the UNESCO’s (2015) and Sharma’s (2020) framework, and PISA (2018) framework of global competencies. The results indicate that the dimensions of GCED are substantially represented across the rubrics of this textbook, and the four global competencies are well-addressed via productive, receptive and linguistic components.
