Three research questions were raised and answered. The results obtained were analyzed using Pearson and Multiple Regression analyses. The results among others showed that there existed a positive relationship between textbook utilization (r=.186), students involvement (r=.186) and students‟ achievement in English Language. The results further revealed that textbook utilization and students‟ involvement were significant in their composite academic contribution to the prediction of academic achievement of students‟ in English Language (F=5.316; p<0.05; R = .121,R2 =.015, Adj.
