Flight Safety Australia article - duff gen

Latest issue of Flight Safety Australia has an article on stall recoveries. The author (qualifications not published) says ailerons must be held neutral and only rudder should be used to level the wings as part of the recovery from a wing drop at point of stall.

This technique is an old wives tale perpetuated for decades in flying schools and still is. Sometimes referred to as "picking up the wing with rudder." The CASA Flight Instructors Manual makes no mention of this technique. Does anyone know if this technique still taught at flying schools or flight instructors courses?
