Yes, it would be pronounced twelve twelve. Most dates in English split the first 2 numbers and the last 2 numbers. So 1314 would be thirteen fourteen.

You can your students they can choose between the most formal (traditional) version:one thousand two hundred twelve or in a coloquial way twelve twelve.
Personally I would go for the first one when writing and for the second when speaking.Hope it helps!
