Penelitian ini menyelidiki pengaruh kemampuan verbal dan interaksi terhadap perkembangan bahasa anak selama aktivitas membaca nyaring dalam bahasa Inggris. Sesi membaca nyaring diakui secara luas sebagai metode penting dalam mendorong perkembangan kognitif dan linguistik anak. Dengan menggunakan teknik pemodelan persamaan struktural, penelitian ini menganalisis data dari 108 anak berusia 6 hingga 9 tahun yang berpartisipasi dalam sesi bercerita interaktif dalam bahasa Inggris. Variabel utama yang dianalisis mencakup kemampuan verbal, interaksi, dan perkembangan keterampilan berbahasa. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa kemampuan verbal berperan penting dalam perolehan bahasa, dengan koefisien jalur sebesar 0,400 (p = 0,001), yang menegaskan signifikansinya dalam perluasan kosakata dan pembentukan kalimat. Meskipun interaksi menunjukkan efek sedang (0,185, p = 0,068), temuan ini menyoroti pentingnya pembelajaran kolaboratif dan keterlibatan aktif dalam meningkatkan pemahaman serta penggunaan bahasa dalam konteks. Selain itu, respons anak terhadap cerita yang dibacakan secara nyaring memberikan kontribusi yang berarti (0,331, p = 0,009), menunjukkan bahwa paparan terhadap narasi memiliki dampak besar terhadap kompetensi linguistik. Temuan ini memberikan implikasi praktis bagi pendidik dan orang tua, dengan menyarankan bahwa mengintegrasikan elemen interaktif dan latihan verbal dalam sesi membaca nyaring bahasa Inggris dapat secara signifikan meningkatkan keterampilan berbahasa anak. Studi ini menambah wawasan terhadap penelitian yang berkembang mengenai strategi efektif dalam pengembangan bahasa serta menekankan pentingnya menciptakan lingkungan pembelajaran yang dinamis dan komunikatif.
