I think written scenarios, call and response, and listening to ATC on the ground is all you can be expected to do! Aside from actual experience, that is. I had a student who needed work on radios, so we jumped into a Piper Cherokee 140 with no PTT on my side. (No brakes either, but I guess the hand brake would have to do in an emergency.) Upon learning he was the sole radio operator, my student freaked a little, but by the end of the flight he was doing much better. Throwing someone in the deep end, so to speak, might be what they need to get passed their problem.
