In Portland Maine we do it at the advanced level when we start adding the
specialty courses such as pronounciation, TOEFL PREP, and Reading and
Writing.  This still does not solve the problem of having too large
classes because we accept recent arrivals immidiately and some long time
learners are still occupying some of those entry level classroom chairs.

Good luck
