s discovered that disabled children being taught with this method have a faster learning rate than that of children being taught using the conventional teaching method. Dr Moni Lai Storz, who was then a senior lecturer at Monash University, brought the learning of the Chinese language, Mandarin, to the Australian community using the revolutionary techniques of Accelerated Learning. Together with a scholar from China, Mr Jian-Guo Luo, Moni developed a series of 'Chinese using Accelerated Learning Techniques' (CUALT) modules. In 1994, they held their first ever experimental CUALT class at Ross House, Melbourne, for a group of 29 students. This first class turned out to be a huge success where students found themselves learning Chinese Mandarin with complete ease and having a good time too! It was then that the Australasian Centre of Chinese Studies was born. Since then, over several thousand students have studied Chinese with us over the past few years. Scores of businesses such as Telstra, ANZ Bank, Crown Casino, Cadbury Schweppes have had their executives trained with us for Chinese Mandarin and cross-cultural management and communications.
