In view of the COVID-19 pandemic and government policy to carry out online learning, the present research is aimed at investigating how EFL teachers carry out online EFL learning and its challenges. 16 EFL teachers volunteered to participate in this research through invitation. The EFL teachers were requested to make written reflections regarding their practices in carrying out online EFL learning and the challenges they encounter. Five of them were involved in a follow-up interview individually. Semi-structured interview was administered. Data coding was done and appropriate extracts were informed in results section. To validate the data, data coding was done independently by both researchers, continued by several cycles of discussion. As results, the EFL teachers have carried out online learning through a series of activities ranging from checking the students’ attendance to giving score on the students’ works synchronously or asynchronously depending on each school policy. Various applications and platforms ranging from learning management system to additional resource are employed. However, many problems emerge from the students, the teachers, and the students’ parents along with the valid reasons. Therefore, the online learning does not run well since it lacks of preparation and planning. Implications for better online learning are discussed. Future prospective researches are directed and encouraged. Keywords : COVID-19, EFL teachers, online EFL learning, technology enhanced language learning, technology in language learning.

EFL课程必须上线！印度尼西亚COVID-19大流行期间的教学活动和挑战

鉴于COVID-19大流行和政府开展在线学习的政策，本研究旨在调查EFL教师如何进行在线EFL学习及其挑战。16名EFL老师应邀自愿参加了这项研究。要求EFL老师对他们进行在线EFL学习的做法以及所遇到的挑战进行书面思考。其中有五人分别参加了后续采访。进行了半结构化访谈。进行数据编码，并在结果部分告知适当的摘录。为了验证数据，两位研究人员独立完成数据编码，并进行了数次讨论。结果，EFL老师通过一系列活动进行了在线学习，从检查学生的出勤到根据每个学校的政策同步或异步给学生成绩打分。使用了从学习管理系统到其他资源的各种应用程序和平台。但是，从学生，老师和学生的父母那里涌现出许多问题，还有正当的理由。因此，由于缺乏准备和计划，在线学习效果不佳。讨论了更好的在线学习的含义。指导和鼓励未来的前瞻性研究。关键字：COVID-19，EFL教师，在线EFL学习，技术增强型语言学习，语言学习技术。
