The study examined the relative and combined contributions of the some determinants of students' achievement of Senior Secondary school English Comprehension in South western States.

The Self Factor Scale (SFS), Home Factor Scale (HFS) and Teacher Factor Scale (TFS) were used to collect data, which was analyzed with stepwise multiple regression t-test statistical tool. The finding implied that the achievement of students in English language Comprehension could be predicted by the combination of students' Self, home and teacher factors.
