The study focuses on the cognitive mechanisms associated with teachers’ work with new, conceptually complex material, both when they are experts in philological analysis and when they design the acquisition of subject matter. The scientific novelty of the article lies in its interdisciplinary approach, which allows for an explanation of the interaction between “threshold” subject nodes and representation. The empirical base includes a focus group with literature teachers (n = 12) and a content analysis of 30 lesson plans. Two key findings were identified: first, when faced with complex texts (primarily poetry), teachers’ repertoires of figurative schemes narrow and simplify, erasing genre-specific features; second, cognitive flexibility in lesson design is more characteristic of teachers who recognize disciplinary nature of threshold concepts and rely on multi-level schemes. Using data from focus groups and lesson plans, the study reveals that a teacher’s cognitive flexibility and the richness of their methodological repertoire are directly influenced by their awareness of the disciplinary nature of key subject concepts. However, when faced with non-trivial material (such as complex poetry), without proper reflection, teachers inevitably narrow the range of strategies they employ, reduce the complexity of meanings, and blur the distinctiveness of genres. This study provides valuable insights for designing effective lessons in schools and developing professional development programs for all teachers, particularly those teaching literature.
