AWL Sublist 6AWL Sublist 6 — Akademik Kelimeler

Academic Word List (AWL), Averil Coxhead'in akademik metinlerden derlediği 570 kelime ailesinden oluşur ve sıklığa göre 10 alt listeye (sublist) bölünür. Sublist 1 en sık geçen kelimeleri, Sublist 10 en seyrek geçenleri barındırır. Sublist 6 tam ortada durur: bu kelimeler artık "temel" değildir ama hâlâ akademik yazının her yerinde karşına çıkar. Yani IELTS'te bunları tanımak Reading için, doğru kullanmak ise Writing ve Speaking için fark yaratır.

Neden özellikle bu liste? Çünkü Sublist 6, günlük İngilizceden akademik İngilizceye geçiş kelimeleriyle doludur. reveal, enhance, initiate, allocate, exceed, transform gibi fiiller, show, improve, start, give, go over, change gibi basit karşılıklarının yerine geçtiğinde cümlen bir anda daha olgun okunur. IELTS Writing değerlendirmesinde Lexical Resource kriteri tam da bunu ölçer: sıradan kelime yerine bağlama uygun, daha az yaygın ("less common") kelime seçebiliyor musun?

Bu sayfada Sublist 6'nın 60 headword'ünü kelime aileleriyle veriyoruz, sonra bunları IELTS cümlelerinde çalıştırıyor, collocation ve yükseltme örnekleriyle pekiştiriyor, sık hataları işaretliyor ve mini testle kapatıyoruz. Genel AWL stratejisi için AWL genel bakış sayfasına dönebilirsin.

The Academic Word List (AWL) consists of 570 word families compiled by Averil Coxhead from academic texts and is divided into 10 sublists based on frequency. Sublist 1 contains the most frequently occurring words, while Sublist 10 contains the least frequent ones. Sublist 6 stands right in the middle: these words are no longer "basic" but still appear throughout academic writing. Thus, recognizing them in IELTS Reading and using them correctly in Writing and Speaking makes a difference.

Why this list in particular? Because Sublist 6 is filled with transition words from everyday English to academic English. Verbs like reveal, enhance, initiate, allocate, exceed, transform read more maturely when they replace simpler counterparts like show, improve, start, give, go over, change. The Lexical Resource criterion in IELTS Writing measures just this: can you choose contextually appropriate, less common words instead of ordinary ones?

On this page, we provide the 60 headwords of Sublist 6 with their word families, then we practice them in IELTS sentences, reinforce them with collocation and upgrade examples, highlight common mistakes, and conclude with a mini-test. You can return to the AWL overview page for a general AWL strategy.

Aşağıdaki tabloda her headword'ün en çok işine yarayacak aile formları ve bağlama göre Türkçe karşılığı var. Bir kelimeyi öğrenirken sadece fiil veya isim halini değil, tüm aileyi öğren; çünkü IELTS'te çoğu zaman farklı bir formu gerekir (ör. analyse istersin ama cümlede analytical lazım olur).

The table below shows the most useful family forms of each headword and their Turkish equivalents based on context. When learning a word, don't just learn the verb or noun form, but learn the entire family; because in IELTS, a different form is often required (e.g., you may want analyse, but in the sentence, analytical may be needed).
