You asked this a year ago but it seems no one answered. You may already know the answer by now but just in case, your sentence would be "Jina la mwanafunzi ni nani?"
This is question is not directed to the student. Is like to say : Jina la huyo mwanafunzi ni nani ? This question might be asked when a student is already mentioned a name. Take a position as you write down those student names. And when you want to pardon you may ask: Amesema anaitwa nani ? Recalling to what a student name is.
I put, "Student, what is your name?" Is that correct, or does the word order have to match?

Same question for me. It is more natural for me to directly address the student first in the sentence.
Duo, please do better with instructions for swahili and please fix your audio problems.
What is the name of your student? Would that then be: jina ni nani mwanafunzi lako? ??
To be clear Swahili the question will have to ask : Mwanafunzi jina lako ni nani ? Student ,what's your name ?
How do you know who the question is directed to? I thought the question was directed to a teacher, as in "what is the name of your student?" Not "what is your name, student?"
