INTRODUCTION
The Corona Virus Disease  Pandemic has spread globally in whole countries after appearing in Wuhan, China, in 2019. World Health Organization (WHO) has declared the Covid-19 as pandemic on March 13, 2020. Because its spreading is relatively fast and has been touching many people globally, many countries release the rule to work or study from home to prevent the more spread. The study from home becomes an alternative to save the students from being infected. It also brings a way to study the difference where the educator must give instructions virtually.
Many researchers have developed various instructional methods in  Pandemic to find the solution to give the best method to facilitate the learning process. One of them is the English Teaching Method. (Patel et al., 2008) stated that the English teaching method is the entire process of planning, selecting, and assessing English language material, and the teaching process considers the students' conditions to be taught. This teaching method is applied in teaching both in class and outside the classroom that is planned, structured, and adapts to the teaching approach, goals, which have been predetermined to improve student learning experiences (Edissherashvili, 2014); (Munzaki et al., 2017); (Yildizlar, 2013). Besides, various English teaching methods need to be applied in learning other than the lecture teaching method (Mahesh Deelip et al., 2016). We know that, in general, the English teaching method always focuses on two sides. Namely the approach to language use such as speaking and understanding text, podcasts, and oral. Another concern is language analysis, namely, understanding the grammar rules in English (Murcia, 2002).
The number of researches that discuss the English Teaching Method in Covid-19 Pandemic needs to map to find the field of articles. The way to map the English Teaching Method area in the Covid-19 Pandemic is by using bibliometrics analysis. Bibliometric analysis is a method for analyzing, evaluating bibliographic data available in research journals. that can be presented quantitatively, mathematically, and statistically, which can later be used as reference material for scientific or research development trends. (Yu et al., 2019); (Ellegaard, 2018); (Ardito, L. et al., 2019). Bibliometrics is responsible for checking scientific article references, indexing article citations, grouping related scientific articles, and mapping journals' scientific fields. This bibliometrics will provide an overview of the characteristics of changes and developments in research on current trends and future trends, making it easier for researchers to plan and conduct their research (Basuki, 2002); (Nobre & Tavares, 2017).
From the theories above, this study aims to expose: (1) The article number of English Teaching Method in  (2) The number of journals and the publisher published articles of English Teaching Method in Covid-19 Pandemic; (3) The research trend of English Teaching Method in Covid-19 Pandemic; (4) The next topic will have the potential to study.

METHOD
This study conducts the Bibliometrics Analysis method to analyze the citation of the article. The study population adopts article primer data of English Teaching Method in Covid-19 Pandemic by searching through Google scholar with the key "English Teaching Method in Covid-19 Pandemic" using Publish or Perish (PoP) software in December 2020. There are 989 articles provided in the Software. The processed article sample is some articles that focus on English Teaching Method in Covid-19 Pandemic. Then, data processing will use other soft wares: Microsoft Excel, Mendeley, and VOSviewer.
This study has four steps to get the English teaching method data in the Covid-19 Pandemic. The first step is initial searching by using Publish or Perish Software, were found 989 articles. The second step is filtering by analyzing the articles, which are categorized as citations or books. The third step is filtering the articles which are not required as an article of the English Teaching Method in Covid-19 Pandemic. The last step is data processing, which is obtained after filtering in steps two and three. The following is the data filtering procession: The data above shows that the English Teaching Method's research trend in the Covid-19 Pandemic increases. The increasing trend is significant enough to increase by 60% from publication year in 2019 to 2020.

The distinct color shows that many researchers from the data above have conducted the research area of it. It means that the research on the following topic has less potential to conduct. Besides, the opaque colors show that the researchers rarely use the research area. It shows that they can be developed by the next researcher, especially in clusters 3 and cluster 4.
In addition, this study analyzes the English teaching method available in the Google Scholar database, where the researches in the same area are contained. Future researchers may conduct other topics such as English teaching media in the Covid-19 Pandemic as shown in the VOSviewer before.

CONCLUSION
This study analyzes sixty-three articles of English Teaching Method in Covid-19 Pandemic by using four Softwares: Publish or Perish (PoP), Microsoft Excel, Mendeley, and VOSViewer. The data was found after filtering 989 articles obtained by searching through Publish or Perish (PoP) Software on the Google Scholar database using the keyword "English Teaching Method in Covid-19 Pandemic" in 2019-2020. This study analyzes sixty-three articles based on quartile in SCImago, Publication Year, Publisher, Country of Publisher, Journal name, and citations. Then the analysis continued by using VOSViewer to map the keywords that many researchers used. Hence, the research trend is in the keyword that appears the most of sixty-three articles such as student, pandemic Covid, teacher, education, teaching, and EFL Teacher. Besides, it gives the next researcher the information to conduct another English Teaching Media in the Covid-19 pandemic. This study has two weaknesses. The first is that personal touch cannot be avoided, which can be an error of analysis. The second is limited keywords available in the Google scholar database as the primary source of this study. The following study can use another database to get more quality data, such as a database of Scopus, web of science, PubMed, Microsoft Academic, Crossref, etc.
