%X The  present  quantitative  study  was  conducted  to  investigate  Indonesian high school English teachers’ attitudes towards the uses of instructional technology  (IT)  during  the  Covid-19  pandemic-driven  online  learning. The  study  used  a  survey  method  of  distributing  an  online  questionnaire several   months   into   the   Covid-19   pandemic,   within   July   2020.   114 Indonesian  high  school  English  teachers  participated  in  the  study.  It found   that   the   teacher   participants   generally   had   positive   attitudes towards  the  uses  of  IT  in  English  online  classes.  They  believed  that  IT improved  teacher-student  relationships,  creativity,  and  innovation,  as well as brought positive changes towards their teaching. However, more than  half  of  them  also  reported  that  they  had  more  failures  than  success stories when using IT during the pandemic. They did not believe that IT made   learning   more   effective   either.   These   seemingly   ambivalent attitudes  may  be  attributed  to  the  sudden  changes  from  the  face-to-face mode of instruction to the online one during the pandemic leading to the unpreparedness  of  all  parties  involved  including  teachers.  Based  on  the findings, implications and contributions are stated alongside the possible limitations and directions for future studies.
