If your students have done any writings on the computer, why not get them to paste them into one of these sites...
http://text-to-speech-translator.paralink.com/
http://public.research.att.com/~ttsweb/tts/demo.php#top
and listen to their own words come alive! A little tempremental, but always works after one or two clicks. Impressive English voices - though not too sure on foreign English pronunciation (Spanish, Japanese, etc).
You can even slow down the first site without effecting the voice too much, which might be nice for dictations or dictaglosses which the students themselves could set up for each other.
