Promoting Conceptual Development of English Prepositions among University Graduates through Human- and Computer-Assisted Instruction

Two tests were administered to measure participants’ preposition knowledge at three different time points, including a sentence-level cloze test and a picture elicitation test (PET). No feedback was given to participants for either test. The same set of test items were used for both pretest and posttest but in a randomized order.
