Academic Word List (AWL), akademik metinlerde en sık geçen 570 kelime ailesini frekansa göre 10 alt listeye (sublist) ayırır. Sublist 1 en sık, Sublist 10 en seyrek kullanılan kelimeleri içerir. Sublist 7, orta frekanslı 60 kelime ailesinden oluşur: artık çekirdek akademik kelimeleri aştın ve IELTS’te Band 7+ ayıran daha ince, daha “akademik” sözcüklere geçiyorsun.
Bu kelimeler IELTS’in her bölümünde işine yarar. Reading’te bilimsel ve sosyal metinlerin sırtını empirical, phenomenon, paradigm, hierarchy gibi kelimeler taşır. Writing’te bu sözcükler düşünceni hem daha yoğun hem de daha nesnel gösterir; örneğin “the government should stop this” yerine “the government should intervene to eliminate this practice” dersin.
Aşağıdaki bölümlerde önce tüm 60 kelimenin ailesini bir tabloda göreceksin, sonra gerçek IELTS bağlamında örnek cümleler, collocation’lar, sık hatalar ve küçük bir test gelecek.
Academic Word List (AWL), divides the 570 most frequent word families in academic texts into 10 sub-lists by frequency. Sublist 1 contains the most frequent, Sublist 10 the least frequently used words. Sublist 7 consists of 60 medium-frequency word families: you have now moved past the core academic words and, in IELTS, are moving on to the finer, more “academic” words that distinguish Band 7+.
These words help in every part of IELTS. Reading, words like empirical, phenomenon, paradigm, hierarchy carry the weight of scientific and social texts. Writing, these words make your thinking look both denser and more objective; for example, instead of “the government should stop this” you would say “the government should intervene to eliminate this practice”.
In the sections below you will first see all 60 words' families in a table, then example sentences in a real IELTS context, collocations, common mistakes and a short test.
Aşağıdaki tabloda Sublist 7’nin 60 kelime ailesinin tamamı yer alıyor. Önce baş kelimeyi, sonra türetilmiş biçimlerini (fiil / isim / sıfat / zırf) ve Türkçe karşılığını görüyorsun. IELTS’te şart değiştirme (ör. innovate → innovation → innovative) puan getirdiği için aileyi bütün olarak öğren.

“eliminate inefficiency” formal yazıda tercih edilir.
akademik yazıda “empirical evidence” standart kalıptır.
“the state should intervene” resmi ve tarafsız.
“submit a report” sınavda ve iş dünyasında doğru seçim.
