Teaching English to Young Learners starts to reach growth as parents want their children to be competent in one of the 21st-century skills, which is being communicative. Having the ability to communicate in one foreign language, particularly English, is considered important for many parents whose children study at Islamic-affiliated schools, other than Arabic skills. However, English teaching at the primary school level is still limited in terms of its teaching duration, they learn only for 90 minutes per week. Therefore, this community service aims to provide more opportunities for primary graders at SD Aisyiyah Kota Malang to learn English through the Content Language Integrated Learning (CLIL) enrichment program which was done in weekend classes that lasted for ten consecutive meetings. The methods implemented were analyzing students’ learning needs, designing science-based topics as teaching material, developing materials, implementing the learning design through 10-week teaching, and evaluating the program. Results show that the content of the subject at the school was taught in English. Some materials designed for this project were about science, thus, in this program students discussed the topic of science in English. Also, the content was designed by integrating Islamic elements, the topics were animals mentioned in the Quran such as camel, whale, bird, donkey, and crow. At the end of the session, this activity gained a positive response from students, the content teacher, the homeroom teacher, and the school principal. This indicates that the community service which was designed in the form of an enrichment program for weekend classes was effectively run.
