Abstract
Remote English teaching becomes a trend during the pandemic of Covid-19 outbreak. Schools in Indonesia are forced to conduct teaching and learning activity remotely during Work from Home (WFH) regulation. However, not all teachers were ready to teach virtually. This study aimed at investigating the teachers’ and students’ readiness toward remote English teaching. The subject were the English teachers at SMAN 1 Kubutambahan. An explanatory sequential mixed-method design was implemented in this research. The data were collected through an online survey and followed up with an interview. The data were collected through an online survey and analysed using Ideal Mean score analysis. The survey used a questionnaire which contain four dimensions, namely technology, innovation, people, and self-development to investigate the teachers’ and students’ readiness level. The research finding showed that English teachers were categorized in the ready category, which means they were ready in conducting remote English teaching. The result of this research can be used as an evaluation for the teacher in order to improve their readiness level in the future.

Summary
Over the past several decades, technology has developed and become a need for people in many aspects such as communication, industry, and education. The main point of remote teaching is to make the teacher and student interact with the technology, and to make the teaching and learning process meaningful. Remote teaching is not always running as well as expected due to the lack of readiness of the teachers during the teaching and learning process (Churiyah et al, 2020; Martiana, 2019). Widyanti and Park (2020) conducted a study on some universities in developing countries which shows that teacher’ readiness in online teaching should be improved to make the material acceptable for learners. Another study conducted by Fauzi et al (2020) at Banten and West Java region shows that online learning is not running as well as expected due to the readiness of the teacher and students
