Abstract
Online learning decisions during the COVID-19 pandemic have problems in its application. Besides infrastructure, teachers’ ability to integrate technology in learning is also an important factor that affects the success of online learning. In the current online learning, teachers are required to master Technological Pedagogical Content Knowledge (TPCK). Thus, this research aims to explore the Indonesian language teachers’ TPCK and readiness to conduct online learning during the COVID-19 outbreak. This research applied a survey method with 318 participating teachers in Lampung, Indonesia. The data were collected using questionnaires related to attitude, technological knowledge, content knowledge, pedagogical knowledge, pedagogical content knowledge, technological content knowledge, technological pedagogical knowledge, and technological pedagogical content knowledge. They were then analyzed quantitatively using factor analysis and qualitatively based on the teachers’ answers to learning during the COVID-19 pandemic. The results demonstrate that Indonesian language teachers have adapted to the implementation of online learning related to the use of technology such as the variety of learning media and educational platforms used as well as TPCK skills. In general, teachers’ TPCK tends to be positive about online learning even though some senior teachers have a negative attitude to the technological aspects. They have difficulty using technology in learning so that the class looks monotonous and does not vary. The results of this research can be used as evaluation material by policymakers to improve the learning system.

Summary
That WHO declared the 2019 Coronavirus disease (COVID-19) to be a pandemic resulted in the closure of national schools. UN Education, Scientific and Cultural Organization estimates that 107 countries have implemented school closures affecting 862 million children and adolescents, about half of the global student population [1]. Through the Minister of Education's Circular Letter number 4 of 2020, Indonesia confirms that all schools implement online learning from home. Online learning separates students and teachers physically. Online learning platforms that contain learning materials, assessment tasks, and communication media are used to deliver the material [2]. Students continue to study through online learning and via video calls with their teachers. It is the best alternative model as opening schools open puts students at risk
