I would like to use ListPlot without Frame. But AxesLabel produces y-label above the y-axis and I want the label to be left from the axis like in FrameLabel. How can I get it?

I've solved this by the following way:

ListPlot[list, PlotStyle -> Black, 
 LabelStyle -> Directive[FontFamily -> "Arial", Medium], 
 Frame -> True, FrameLabel -> {"xlabel", "ylabel"}, 
 FrameStyle -> {{None, White}, {None, White}}]

Are there another ways?

$\begingroup$ 
list = RandomReal[{-10, 10}, {10, 2}];

You can selectively turn the Frame elements on/off.

ListPlot[list, PlotStyle -> Black, 
 LabelStyle -> Directive[FontFamily -> "Arial", Medium],
 Frame -> {{Automatic, None}, {Automatic, None}}, 
 FrameLabel -> {"xlabel", "ylabel"}]

enter image description here

Note that the Axes may still appear unless you explicitly turn them off.

ListPlot[list, PlotStyle -> Black, 
 LabelStyle -> Directive[FontFamily -> "Arial", Medium],
 Axes -> False, Frame -> {{Automatic, None}, {Automatic, None}}, 
 FrameLabel -> {"xlabel", "ylabel"}]
