This research study looked at faculty-student interaction and course self-efficacy and its relationship with reading comprehension scores of adult ESL students. Research studies have not examined the role that faculty-student interaction and course self-efficacy have on reading comprehension of adult ESL students in community-college settings. The sample in this study consisted of 70 adult ESL students who were in their final semesters of English studies at four community colleges located in the Southeastern United States. The theoretical framework which guided this study has its roots in Bandura's Social-Cognitive Theory; the Social-Cognitive Theory holds that efficacy beliefs along with goal systems increase motivation and performance by increasing effort or persistence. Self-efficacy is domain specific. In this study the independent variable, course self-efficacy was investigated. Scale I of the College Self-Efficacy Inventory (CSEI) was used to measure students' self-efficacy beliefs in regard to their reading-comprehension levels. The other framework which guided this study was the Academic and Social Integration Theory of Tinto, which looks at student persistence and factors which can cause students to either remain in college or leave their educational environments. The second independent variable, faculty-student interaction was measured using Scale II of the Institutional Integration Scale (IIS) developed by Pascarella and Terenzini. The study's findings were significant, (F(2,67) =23.235, p <.001), with an R2 of .41. The results indicate that both faculty-student interaction and course self-efficacy had a significant relationship with exit-level reading-comprehension scores of the adult ESL students who participated in the study.
