On my links page [http://www.unibas.ch/shine/SHINE_Links.htm] I have got
two addresses:

 1) Hear Books Now : Listen to a play on the internet.
[http://www.hearbooksnow.com/] (last visit: 25/01/00)

 2) Audio recordings: Sonnets (Gielgud), Much Ado (Rex Harrison, Rachel
Roberts) Julius Caesar
 (Richardson, Quayle)

But are there not also software programmes that "read" texts aloud from
the screen, so that your student could just read any online edition?
