These words show up in academic readings, lecture transcripts, and essay prompts at a rate far higher than everyday conversation \u2014 but they almost never appear in pop songs, social media, or casual English classes. That is why so many Taiwan test-takers score well in the listening and speaking sections, then suddenly stall on reading and writing.<\/p>\n\n<p>This guide focuses on the 570 word families of the Academic Word List (AWL), a vocabulary corpus built specifically for university-bound English learners. We will walk through the 25 most useful AWL words for the IELTS \/ TOEFL writing tasks, group them by function, show you how to use each one correctly, and finish with a memorization plan that actually sticks. Whether you study with an \u82f1\u6587\u5bb6\u6559 (English tutor) or self-study at home, these are the words that move your band score the fastest.<\/p>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1080\" height=\"720\" src=\"https:\/\/18kenglish.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/academic-vocabulary-awl-ielts-toefl-2026-2.jpg\" alt=\"English Lesson Home Work\" class=\"wp-image-5553\" srcset=\"https:\/\/18kenglish.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/academic-vocabulary-awl-ielts-toefl-2026-2.jpg 1080w, https:\/\/18kenglish.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/academic-vocabulary-awl-ielts-toefl-2026-2-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/18kenglish.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/academic-vocabulary-awl-ielts-toefl-2026-2-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/18kenglish.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/academic-vocabulary-awl-ielts-toefl-2026-2-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/18kenglish.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/academic-vocabulary-awl-ielts-toefl-2026-2-18x12.jpg 18w, https:\/\/18kenglish.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/academic-vocabulary-awl-ielts-toefl-2026-2-600x400.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1080px) 100vw, 1080px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">English Lesson Home Work<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What Is Academic Vocabulary? | \u4ec0\u9ebc\u662f\u5b78\u8853\u82f1\u6587\u55ae\u5b57?<\/h2>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe width=\"560\" height=\"315\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/iTJgIgCtNi4?feature=oembed\" title=\"Academic Vocabulary: 25 AWL Words for IELTS TOEFL Success (2026)\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Academic vocabulary refers to the cross-disciplinary words that appear frequently in university textbooks, research papers, and formal essays across every subject \u2014 from economics to biology. They are not technical jargon (terms only a doctor or engineer would use); they are the connective tissue of academic English. Words like <em>analyze<\/em>, <em>significant<\/em>, <em>establish<\/em>, \uff0c \u548c <em>contrast<\/em> appear so often that without them, you simply cannot read or write at university level.<\/p>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The Academic Word List (AWL) | \u5b78\u8853\u8a5e\u5f59\u8868<\/h3>\n\n<p>The Academic Word List was developed by Dr. Averil Coxhead at Victoria University of Wellington in 2000. She analyzed 3.5 million words from academic texts across four disciplines \u2014 arts, commerce, law, and science \u2014 and identified 570 word families that appear at high frequency in all of them. These 570 families account for roughly 10% of the words in any academic text, which is huge: learn them well, and you instantly understand one in ten words of every IELTS reading passage.<\/p>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Why It Matters for IELTS &#038; TOEFL | \u70ba\u4ec0\u9ebc\u5c0d\u8003\u8a66\u91cd\u8981<\/h3>\n\n<p>Examiners reward lexical resource \u2014 the variety and precision of your word choice. A candidate who writes &#8220;the chart shows that prices went up a lot&#8221; gets a band 5 or 6. A candidate who writes &#8220;the chart illustrates a substantial increase in prices&#8221; gets a band 7 or higher. Same idea, very different score. AWL vocabulary is the single fastest way to upgrade your writing register from intermediate to academic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">25 Essential Academic Words | 25 \u500b\u5fc5\u5b78\u5b78\u8853\u55ae\u5b57<\/h2>\n\n<p>We have grouped the 25 words below by function rather than alphabetically \u2014 this makes them easier to remember and easier to deploy in essays.

The science of spaced repetition is clear: short, frequent review sessions beat long marathon study blocks every time. A common rhythm that works well for busy Taipei professionals is 10 new words on Monday, 10 more on Wednesday, and a full review on Friday and Sunday \u2014 roughly 20 minutes per session.<\/p>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The Sentence-First Method | \u4f8b\u53e5\u512a\u5148\u6cd5<\/h3>\n\n<p>Do not memorize words in isolation. The brain stores meaning through context, so always learn a new word inside a full sentence. Write the sentence by hand once, say it aloud twice, then close your notebook and try to write it from memory. This forces deeper encoding than passive flashcard flipping. Pair this with a tool like Anki or Quizlet for spaced review, and you will retain roughly 80% of new vocabulary after two weeks \u2014 versus the typical 20% from cramming.<\/p>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Word Families, Not Single Words | \u55ae\u5b57\u5bb6\u65cf\u6cd5<\/h3>\n\n<p>One AWL family is more than a single word \u2014 <em>analyze<\/em> brings <em>analysis<\/em>, <em>analyst<\/em>, <em>analytical<\/em>, \uff0c \u548c <em>analytically<\/em> with it. Learn all forms together. This is especially important for the IELTS Writing task, where examiners look for grammatical flexibility. Knowing that <em>significant<\/em> (adj.) becomes <em>significance<\/em> (n.) and <em>significantly<\/em> (adv.) lets you reshape a sentence on the fly instead of repeating the same form.<\/p>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1080\" height=\"720\" src=\"https:\/\/18kenglish.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/academic-vocabulary-awl-ielts-toefl-2026-6.jpg\" alt=\"Handwritten notes during a seminar.

Using it correctly under exam pressure is another. The fastest way to bridge that gap is to rewrite your own intermediate sentences using AWL replacements. Take a casual sentence like &#8220;The number of users went up because the app got better,&#8221; and force yourself to rewrite it twice \u2014 once with one AWL word, once with three. Result: &#8220;User numbers increased because the app improved,&#8221; then &#8220;The substantial growth in users derived from significant product improvements.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n<p>This drill takes five minutes a day and rebuilds your default writing register from the ground up. After two weeks of consistent practice, academic vocabulary starts arriving on the page automatically \u2014 which is exactly what you need during the 40-minute IELTS Writing Task 2.<\/p>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Avoid Overuse | \u907f\u514d\u904e\u5ea6\u4f7f\u7528<\/h3>\n\n<p>A common mistake is stuffing every sentence with three or four academic words. Examiners notice this immediately and mark it down for unnatural style. Use one AWL word per sentence on average. Keep simple words (<em>\u662f<\/em>, <em>show<\/em>, <em>have<\/em>) when they fit naturally. Precision beats density.<\/p>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1080\" height=\"720\" src=\"https:\/\/18kenglish.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/academic-vocabulary-awl-ielts-toefl-2026-7.jpg\" alt=\"University Library of Trnava University, books, university, study, bookcase, library, a lot of learning, education\" class=\"wp-image-5556\" srcset=\"https:\/\/18kenglish.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/academic-vocabulary-awl-ielts-toefl-2026-7.jpg 1080w, https:\/\/18kenglish.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/academic-vocabulary-awl-ielts-toefl-2026-7-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/18kenglish.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/academic-vocabulary-awl-ielts-toefl-2026-7-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/18kenglish.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/academic-vocabulary-awl-ielts-toefl-2026-7-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/18kenglish.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/academic-vocabulary-awl-ielts-toefl-2026-7-18x12.jpg 18w, https:\/\/18kenglish.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/academic-vocabulary-awl-ielts-toefl-2026-7-600x400.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1080px) 100vw, 1080px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">University Library of Trnava University, books, university, study, bookcase, library, a lot of learning, education<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Common Mistakes Taiwan Test-Takers Make | \u53f0\u7063\u8003\u751f\u5e38\u72af\u932f\u8aa4<\/h2>\n\n<p>After years of teaching IELTS and TOEFL prep classes in Taipei, certain mistakes appear again and again.

Week 2 \u2014 add 50 more and start rewriting daily news headlines using them. Week 3 \u2014 write three short essays (250 words each) and self-mark for AWL usage. Week 4 \u2014 full review, take a practice IELTS Writing test, and identify gaps.
