Abstract
This article explores the effects of design features on support given by illustrations to English preposition learning. Primary school students in Surabaya learning English completed a set of simple sentences in English from each of which the preposition had been omitted. Each written sentence was accompanied by a static illustration to represent the missing preposition. Analyses of subjects' responses suggested that two major sources of error were (a) subjects 'first-language interference, and (b) "misinterpretation" of accompanying illustrations. In the latter case, the majority of problems occurred with sentences describing a change in a situation rather than those specifying an on-going state. Locational, directional, and temporal aspects were identified as design features of an illustration necessary to specify the motion (change-related) prepusitions. In illustrations where such components are lacking, learners' success in selecting the appropriate preposition for a dynamic situation seemed to be related in part to their background knowledge.
