Embarking on the exploration into identity and bullying is like jumping into a deep and wide pool of experiences of individuals and using the several waves and swirls as the manual of instruction as I tried to learn how second language speaker is being bullied in foreign countries. Bullying today has become a serious academic as well as the personal and social problem that affects various people causing extensive concern owing to the quick spread, this is the reason that it should be immediately combated. There are various issues regarding language barrier that a foreigner face in some country where the culture and everything else is also different. Mostly foreigner experienced the language shock and there is only one option left that  stays there and deal with it as there is no escape. Language is essential for every type of communication, even some person who has speech impairments try his or her best to communicate with brail and sign language. Communication is not easy in the situations the language of each other is not understandable for two people [1].

        Language barrier to the communication is basically an inability of some person to communicate using some particular language. One of the most common communication barriers is language barriers that cause misinterpretations and misunderstandings between people, even cause the bullying. In the world, there are so many people who do not speak English or cannot speak English, even if they speak English, they speak it as a second or third language. The communication has no meaning if the receiver and speaker do not use the same words and language [2]. Communication is made ineffective if the language or words are not understandable for the person and the message is prevented from being conveyed. However, no one has the right to bully someone just because he or she speaks some other language and it is not apt to make someone feel isolated just because he or she is not good at speaking English [3]. The main purpose of this paper is to show how miscommunication or insufficient communication can be an important cause of bullying or racism. The research is relevant to people living in a western country and not expert in the English language.
