Frank Otto (academic)
Frank Otto (born 1936) is a retired American educator, pioneer in computer-assisted language learning (CALL), entrepreneur, and the founding executive director of CALICO (the Computer-Assisted Language Instruction Consortium).〔Bush, Michael D. (2013). Otto, Frank. In ''The Encyclopedia of Applied Linguistics'', Carol A. Chapelle (Ed.). Oxford: Blackwell Publishing Ltd.〕
==Early academic career==
Otto received his PhD in 1960 from the University of Wisconsin-Madison. During his program there he conducted dissertation research in the area of foreign languages in the elementary school. With support from publisher Heath de Rochemont, a division of D.C. Heath, he investigated alternative approaches to staffing foreign language programs.〔Otto, Frank. (1968). Alternative approaches to staffing the elementary foreign language program: Cost and time vs. achievement and satisfaction. ''Modern Language Journal, 52''(5), 293–301.〕 His projects involved working with the publisher’s efforts to broadcast their ''Parlons Français'' program to over two million schoolchildren in the Midwest from a DC-3 airplane flying overhead.〔Otto, Frank. (1968). Individualizing instruction through team teaching. ''Hispania, 51''(3).〕 In addition to his degree in Educational Administration and Curriculum Development, Otto also received his state certification as a teacher of Spanish, History, and English.
Upon graduation from Wisconsin, he took a faculty position at The Ohio State University in one of the first programs in foreign language education in the United States.〔Bush, Michael D. (2013). Otto, Frank. In ''The Encyclopedia of Applied Linguistics'', Carol A. Chapelle (Ed.). Oxford: Blackwell Publishing Ltd.〕 During his time at Ohio State, Otto worked with such well-known figures in Foreign Language Education as Dr. Edward Allen and Dr. Paul Pimsleur. Pimsleur on more than one occasion agreed with Otto's opinion that foreign language instruction was eventually "going to wind up on the computer!”〔Bush, Michael D. (2013). Otto, Frank. In ''The Encyclopedia of Applied Linguistics'', Carol A. Chapelle (Ed.). Oxford: Blackwell Publishing Ltd.〕
In 1972 Otto accepted the position to serve as Director of the Language Institute at the University of the Americas in Puebla, Mexico. He also worked with the US embassies in Mexico, Guatemala, Honduras, Ecuador, Panama, Costa Rica, El Salvador, and Columbia not only throughout Latin America but also in Asia, mainly in the Philippines. During that time in his career he also served on the Advisory Committee on Learning Technologies for the Developing World established by the Institute for International Research of the US Agency for International Development.
