recovery technique is to maintain full power and move the control column centrally forward until the stall identification ceases. Then - and only then - level the wings and recover to normal flight.

BEagles advice is the ONLY correct method of recovery. You MUST GENTLY move the stick forward and then get the airspeed up so that the aircraft is flying again, then, and ONLY THEN make inputs such as pulling the stick back GENTLY again to arrest the descent and applying rudder inputs to stabilise the aircraft. All this only takes a few seconds. You MUST be aware of your airspeed to ensure a swift recovery otherwise a secondary stall or oscillating flight is a real possibility. I know that the rotation of the aircraft due to wing drop is a little worrying but once the aircraft is flying again, it will sort itself out, honest! The worst thing that you can do is to make rapid contol inputs which will only result in a delayed recovery. Ask your instructor to do a stall whilst you rest your feet and hands on the controls to experience how he handles the recovery. You should not need to apply full opposite rudder, this is a spin recovery method and you are stalling not spinning at this stage!
