Nowadays, COVID-19 pandemic has already spread around the world. It brings bad impacts on many sectors, especially the education sector.

A qualitative approach was used as a method of this study. Data collection was conducted by distributing questionnaires, carrying out structured interviews, and documentation addressed to ten respondents consisting of English teachers from three schools in Wonosobo.

They used media of ICT such as social media, accessing the internet, laptop, computer, etc. They were also ready in the use of ICT in every meeting or once a week/month even though they were ready with the preparation or without preparation. Second, the teacher’s professional competence can improve ICT utilization in teaching and learning classrooms. Teachers used ICT as a medium in delivering material, accessing the internet to upload and downloading some tasks. The use of social media is to share some information about the material. The use of ICT also can improve teachers’ professional competence because ICT usage is easier and more effective to deliver materials. It can facilitate teachers, increase students’ motivation, and greatly help students understand the material. Third, there were supporting and inhibiting factors in ICT utilization. Based on the data findings, the supporting factors of the use of ICT were making it easier in the teaching and learning process, increasing students’ motivation, improving teachers’ professional competence, and taking part in the digital era.

The inhibiting factors were the lack of facilities, the lack of teachers’ competence, the lack of time, the lack of motivation, the lack of accessing media of ICT, and lastly teachers’ unwillingness.
