Since March 2020, the coronavirus disease case, also known as Covid-19, has spread globally. Schools were closed because of a public health emergency in about 100 nations, including Vietnam, according to UNESCO. Teachers have been obliged to switch from face-to-face instruction to online instruction as a result of the condition. This study examined how EFL high school instructors perceived online English language instruction in the context of Covid 19. This study used a mixed-methods approach with a descriptive design. For this study, 216 EFL high school teachers in Mekong Delta were surveyed and interviewed to get their opinions. The results showed that the participants had a very favorable opinion of the value and simplicity of online instruction during the Covid-19 epidemic. The teachers were able to demonstrate the right attitude toward using technology to teach online, despite the fact that they faced various difficulties during the online teaching process. Finally, it is intended that the pedagogical implications of online teaching and learning would support the development of creative teaching methods in the context of high schools in the Vietnamese Mekong Delta.
