According to the multicultural approach, educational administration aims to assist students in embracing and appreciating both their own culture and other cultures that are different from their own. It encourages pride in one's own culture, pride in discovering other cultures, and pride in knowing how to use information wisely. Every learning center has to offer multicultural education because, if students and educators don't learn about cultural variety through the learning center's activities, they can elsewhere in society. The goal of the project is to create bilingual teaching models employing English and language ethnicity at the Office of Non-Formal and Informal Education in the Samoeng district of Chiang Mai Province. The research methodology was conducted using developmental research methodologies. As students at the Office of Non-Formal and Informal Education in the Samoeng district of Chiang Mai Province, Thailand, come from a variety of ethnic backgrounds and each ethnic group has its own distinctive cultural traditions and ways of life, the research findings showed that where everyone will learn about the diversity of cultures present in society, it is essential to successfully manage teaching and learning in English classrooms that meet the needs of many students. Findings can be used to the delivery of education for multicultural schools in order to support equity in education in line with the concept of multicultural education. This involves managing learner differences. The unique aspect of this study is the creation of a bilingual teaching model based on a multicultural education approach using ethnic languages and English, in terms of learners' English classroom proficiency that will affect academic achievement, and the significance of curriculum development teaching techniques using various techniques, that can assist learners in studying according to their individual language proficiency to achieve better academic achievement.
