I'd be afraid of the typical dialogues that school text books provide, but if they paid for quality books, that would be good. By now, I don't find it difficult to write my own, and I even enjoy it at times. (I'm currently outside of China, but answering as if teaching in China, a return to which is a possibility.)

What would be cool is recording and playback equipment for sound only or video recording. Instant, save-able feedback for the students and another thing a teacher can use to assess outside of the classroom and it's distractions. I did have a listening class once with very old and unstable equipment and software and it drove me nuts. A new system would be much cheaper and presumably more stable (and multi-lingual for instructions?) It would be fun for about 2/3rds of the class and a panic-inducer for the others, at least at first. I wouldn't want to use it much but it would be cool to have as a resource once or twice a term.
