Abstract: This research investigates the impact of AI-powered ChatGPT technology on current pedagogical strategies, focusing on student engagement, language proficiency, and perceived usability. Data was collected through structured surveys from 301 English language learners at Ajman University (49.9%) and University of Hail (50.1%) in the United Arab Emirates and Saudi Arabia respectively. Grounded in constructivist learning theory, the results reveal strong positive outcomes. The integration of ChatGPT into pedagogical strategies significantly enhances student engagement, improves language proficiency (β=0.698, p<0.000), and increases perceived usability among English language learners in higher education institutions in the UAE and Saudi Arabia. Respondents reported that these strategies made lessons more engaging and interactive, improved their language skills, and provided a user-friendly learning interface. These findings underscore the potential of AI tools like ChatGPT to revolutionize language education by offering interactive, personalized, and effective learning experiences. Additionally, the study supports the principles of constructivist learning theory, highlighting students' positive attitudes and perceptions towards the integration of ChatGPT-enhanced pedagogical strategies,. Practical recommendations and study limitations are also discussed.
