Following on from the award-winning Speaking, Listening Understanding (for children aged from 5 to 7 years), this collection of original games and activities is designed to help children aged from 7 to 9 years. The exercises can be used by mainstream teachers with the relevant age group, as well as with older children with impaired or impoverished communication. In this instance, the activities would be especially effective if used by teachers and speech language therapists working collaboratively. They would also be a useful tool for teachers and therapists in special schools and speech language clinics. " Divided into two areas (Understanding Spoken Language and Using Spoken Language), each skill area is organised along broad developmental lines, and the activities can be easily incorporated into the daily classroom programme. " Instructions are clear and simple, and the activities are designed for whole classes or smaller groups and can be carried out by teachers, speech language therapists, classroom assistants or volunteers. " Equipment is kept to a minimum, and the book provides the majority of the resources as photocopiable pages, including many illustrations. " Promotes the skills outlined in the Speaking and Listening section of the English National Curriculum Key Stage Two

Spoken language understanding (SLU) is an emerging field in between speech and language processing, investigating human/ machine and human/ human communication by leveraging technologies from signal processing, pattern recognition, machine learning and artificial intelligence. SLU systems are designed to extract the meaning from speech utterances and its applications are vast, from voice search in mobile devices to meeting summarization, attracting interest from both commercial and academic sectors. Both human/machine and human/human communications can benefit from the application of SLU, using differing tasks and approaches to better understand and utilize such communications. This book covers the state-of-the-art approaches for the most popular SLU tasks with chapters written by well-known researchers in the respective fields. Key features include: Presents a fully integrated view of the two distinct disciplines of speech processing and language processing for SLU tasks. Defines what is possible today for SLU as an enabling technology for enterprise (e.g., customer care centers or company meetings), and consumer (e.g., entertainment, mobile, car, robot, or smart environments) applications and outlines the key research areas. Provides a unique source of distilled information on methods for computer modeling of semantic information in human/machine and human/human conversations. This book can be successfully used for graduate courses in electronics engineering, computer science or computational linguistics. Moreover, technologists interested in processing spoken communications will find it a useful source of collated information of the topic drawn from the two distinct disciplines of speech processing and language processing under the new area of SLU.

"Language Understanding with LUIS" "Language Understanding with LUIS" is an in-depth, authoritative guide to mastering Microsoft’s Language Understanding Intelligent Service (LUIS), a pivotal technology at the heart of enterprise conversational AI. The book begins with a comprehensive exploration of natural language processing (NLP), tracing its historical roots and detailing the evolution of LUIS within today’s cloud-powered ecosystem. Readers are introduced to LUIS’s architecture, intent recognition, sophisticated entity extraction, and essential security considerations—laying the groundwork for building robust, scalable, and secure language applications. Progressing beyond foundational principles, the text offers a detailed roadmap for application design and data engineering tailored specifically to LUIS. Readers will find expert guidance on crafting diverse utterance corpora, structuring intents and entities for maximum coverage and specificity, and leveraging advanced techniques for data labeling and conflict management. The model training pipeline receives focused attention, including best practices for exploratory data analysis, supervised and transfer learning, distributed training, and precision optimization through hyperparameter tuning. Throughout, evaluation, monitoring, and continuous improvement are addressed with cutting-edge metrics, error analysis, and automation workflows. Bridging theory and real-world deployment, the book examines advanced modeling topics such as contextual intent resolution, dynamic entity handling, multilingual support, and scalable integration patterns with Azure and beyond. Enterprise-grade security, compliance, and operational excellence are explored in depth, providing clear strategies for authentication, privacy, governance, and cost optimization. The final chapters peer into the future of language AI, illuminating emerging trends such as integration with large language models, knowledge graphs, explainability, self-healing systems, and ethical considerations, making this book an indispensable resource for professionals and innovators building the next generation of intelligent conversational systems.

A teacher presents a lesson, and at the end asks students if they understand the material. The students nod and say they get it. Later, the teacher is dismayed when many of the students fail a test on the material. Why aren't students getting it? And, just as important, why didn't the teacher recognize the problem? In Checking for Understanding, Douglas Fisher and Nancy Frey show how to increase students' understanding with the help of creative formative assessments. When used regularly, formative assessments enable every teacher to determine what students know and what they still need to learn. Fisher and Frey explore a variety of engaging activities that check for and increase understanding, including interactive writing, portfolios, multimedia presentations, audience response systems, and much more. This new 2nd edition of Checking for Understanding has been updated to reflect the latest thinking in formative assessment and to show how the concepts apply in the context of Fisher and Frey's work on gradual release of responsibility, guided instruction, formative assessment systems, data analysis, and quality instruction. Douglas Fisher and Nancy Frey are the creators of the Framework for Intentional and Targeted (FIT) TeachingTM. They are also the authors of numerous ASCD books, including The Formative Assessment Action Plan: Practical Steps to More Successful Teaching and Learning and the best-selling Enhancing RTI: How to Ensure Success with Effective Classroom Instruction and Intervention.
