The Communicative Approach seems to be the more appropriate one to be presented to the learners, because in this sense they can see the useful aspect to the target language. Also, the knowledge of the communicative application in the language since the very beginning could motivate students during the learning process.
This approach view the language as a mean of communication and everything is done with a communicative intent. During my personal experience in the IPC, I feel that exercises with a communicative context are easier to understand and solve than those which only have the instructions and the task. I think this occurs because we can place ourselves in that situation and find the solution. In addition, role plays, games, and other creative activities have more sense and more motivation if we give them a real context.
Although it is important to include the Communicative Approach in our classes, we cannot leave aside all the methods and theories that exist in the field. The students need some variations in the classes and teachers should evaluate which theories and methods better apply for each group of students.
