argues Glenn Fulcher.

Introduction: The Common European Framework of Reference: Learning,
Teaching, Assessment (CEF) was published in 2001, and is rapidly becoming
the standard reference for teaching and testing languages in Europe. But
there are very real dangers associated with embedding frameworks into our
educational institutions uncritically.
