About:Chinese Names
Chinese students
We are receiving a large number of Chinese students into our international curriculum. On our records, we have (I think) their surname in the first name column and their given name in the surname column.
Does that indicate that we should be calling them by their surname?
E.G. Yaqi Tu - which name comes first?
Similarly, we have a large number who choose western names e.g. Sarah. We obviously would call them Sarah, but which name should follow Sarah? Should it be Sarah Yaqi or Sarah Tu?
I feel very ignorant, but want to make sure I am not offending any students!
