Christin Büning

Christin Büning is a Lecturer in the Department of German Studies – Didactics of the German Language at the University of Siegen, Faculty I. She is actively involved in research related to language development and educational support for young learners. Her work focuses on integrating language instruction with mathematical learning and emotional regulation during the critical transition from elementary to primary school.

Her research centers on reducing participation barriers caused by linguistic, mathematical, or emotional developmental delays in preparatory classes. This interdisciplinary approach emphasizes subject-integrated language support, particularly in multilingual contexts. The project SEM – Language, Emotion, Mathematics, which she contributes to, aims to develop and test innovative teaching concepts that enhance early academic success through holistic development.

Christin Büning is part of a joint research initiative with the University of Frankfurt, funded by the Federal Ministry of Education and Research (Grant number 01JM2206A/B), running from April 2023 to March 2026. The project is led at the Siegen site by Irene Corvacho del Toro, with Christin Büning as a key participant in the subproject.
