Abstract
The researcher conducted this research during the transition from face-to-face (F2F) learning of English to online teaching. The main objective of this study is to explore the views of faculty members on teaching English online. The researcher used the inductive qualitative research method by interviewing six faculty members at a language centre at a private university in Jakarta after completing online teaching for 15 weeks. The researcher analyzed the interviews' results in three steps; quotation, coding, and thematic analysis using Atlas.ti. The data analysis results showed that most faculty members experienced a shock initially because they suddenly had to change the teaching mode from F2F to online. This is partly due to inadequate ICT skills and online learning infrastructure. However, the study results showed that teaching grammar and reading skills were fun through the online system. Over time the faculty members feel comfortable with online learning, but when they were given a choice between online or F2F teaching, most respondents chose F2F mode.
