Abstract
The purpose of this study was to describe English as a Foreign Language (EFL) teachers’ practices in online teaching during the COVID-19 pandemic at the high school level in the Border area in Sambas. The study focused on high schools in three sub-districts: Paloh 1 (Temajuk), Sajingan (Aruk), and Subah. The researchers used online interviews, online observations and document analysis to collect the data. Three English teachers participated in the study. The findings provided information on EFL teachers’ efforts to integrate English materials and online learning. Based on the results, the researchers found that most of the teachers used WhatsApp in their learning process. The researchers also found some obstacles faced by the teachers such as network connection problems.
